Hello everyone, Since about the middle of 2022, I have been working on and off on a navigable tree visualization of ancestors, descendants, and other relatives . I was trying to create a view that looked more organized/consistent than the Graph View, and that easily displays basic information about…

[image] stuck: when I select a person I see this sort of thing: [image] where the buttons at the bottom of the panel are truncated. [image] stuck: when I click off such a truncated box by clicking on white space, i.e. not on another person, the missing bit of the box appears, like this…

[image] ztlxltl: I’m not sure why it doesn’t always work If I pin down a pattern, I’ll be sure to let you know.

Even if the result would be a very large tree, maybe too large to be practical, is there a “expand all” way (or is it possible to add the function)? My gramps database contains my grandparents and great-grandparents siblings and their descendants, i.e. my 2rd and 3rd cousins. But I can’t find a way…

Yes, generations is set to 15/15. Tried increasing to 20/20, no difference. And I can’t see what generations has to do with this - my great-grandparents are just three generations away from me? They (their siblings, their ancestors) show up fine. It’s their siblings’ descendants that won’t show…

My expander settings look like yours. My paternal grandfather was one of six siblings. All his siblings, their spouses and the children and grandchildren that descend from those families are visible in FTV. However, I don’t see the siblings of my maternal grandmother unless I make her the active …

[image] hamkg: Oh, need to add that this add-on becomes more and more impressive with each upgrade. Thank you! [image] hamkg: My gramps database contains my grandparents and great-grandparents siblings and their descendants, i.e. my 2rd and 3rd cousins. But I can’t find a way to expand t…
