I really like the idea of the SuperTool script-like things. But there were somethings that might be done differently now with Gramps 6.0. And I have some ideas. So I thought I’d take a stab at reimagining portable scripts for doing things in Gramps. And thus Gram.py Script gramplet was born. First,…

Can Gram.py list keys and values (attributes) on Citation objects, then group by these keys? Same idea around associations on Individuals, maybe like a relations graph!

Like this? for person in people(): for citation in person.citations: for attribute in citation.attributes: row(person, citation, attribute.type.string, attribute.value ) [image]

Sounds great! [image] dsblank: Gram.py is not sensitive to what view you are on Even so, is it aware of the currently active object(s) of each type, if any? [image] dsblank: edit data Meaning, edit existing objects, not create new ones?

[image] GeorgeWilmes: Even so, is it aware of the currently active object(s) of each type, if any? Yes, all of the active objects are defined (if a view is loaded), like active_person, active_note, etc. [image] GeorgeWilmes: Meaning, edit existing objects, not create new ones? Wow… in…

Oh, it is oriented individuals, like the gedcom. It was rather a test for the challenge… I know that Note are not really (or always!) primary object and that the citation objects are (I do not know the expression in English) like an “Exception”. I rather thought as Citation as the top level. Somethi…

[image] romjerome: associations on Individuals, maybe like a relations graph! Like this? for person in people(): for ref in person.references: row(person, ref.rel, ref.reference) [image]

You get my point… :wink: [image] https://gramps.discourse.group/t/could-you-add-a-context-menu-to-the-association-state-tool-to-open-object-editors/5351

[image] romjerome: Citation → Sources → Repositories → Individuals → Events → Relations You can do that :slight_smile: for citation in citations(): source = citation.source for repo in source.repositories: for note in repo.notes: row(note)

You can get backreferences, just by setting the parent object? Does ‘repositories’ exist as a new built-in (hardcoded?) list of objects? This might deprecate (deprecating?) some very old addons, like for this output: [image]

Like this?

for person in people():
    for ref in person.references:
        row(person, ref.rel, ref.reference)

Associations, who is telling the truth?
