Question about the arrangement of images in the gallery

Hi all

There is a gallery for every person in the database. That´s clear.
But there is also a gallery for every event. Should I, for example, add the death certificate to this gallery for the event of death? But then it will not be displayed in the people gallery. So it is somewhat hidden.
How should I proceed? Put all the images in the people gallery or sort them into the gallery for the event there?
Win11/Gramps 5.2.3

I only add items to the gallery relevant to the image. Photo of a person to the person’s gallery, a birth certificate to the citation’s gallery, etc.

That being said, my most used output report for a cousin, etc is the NarrWeb which will display an image wherever found on its appropriate page. Not every report does this. Images attached to a citation will often not be included in most reports.

You need to evaluate which (if any) reports you use, which images display in that report, and act accordingly.

OK, THX. I do it like you.
I put the Foto into the Gallery of the event.

@Nick-Hall has suggested elsewhere that he will build an efficient Gramplet that drills down all the secondary objects (and tertiary, and so on) to show a list of all the Citations buried in the branch hierarchy attached to a primary object.

With that example, a Gallery that does the same with Media object should be adaptable. (And for Sources, Repositories, Places, Notes, Events, or People. Families might be more complex.)

There is the Deep Gallery gramplet by @ukulelehans . It finds all gallery items for the person. The item in the gallery of the citation, attached to a person’s event.

Until just now, realized it was never added into the Gramps addon lists.

OK, i install it manuel like shown here.

https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/5.1_Addons#Manually_installed_Addons

But Gramps didn´t display it…

That’s because it is registered as a 5.1 version gramplet and you are using the 5.2.3 version of Gramps.

It is not a guarantee that changing the gramps_target_version= in the Gramps Plugin Registration (.gpr.py) file will make a plug-in work. (Each version of Gramps has to adapt to changes in the current version of Python, Gtk and other support libraries.) But tweaking the value is worth trying.

Ok, than i delet it … grrrrrrrrrr

Try tweaking line 7 in the deepgallery.gpr.py file first.

It is a simple text file and you only need to change 1 character. If the tweak does not work, this will not break your tree. (That safety margin is because Deep Gallery only displays data. If the gramplet edited the tree, I’d be more careful.)

gramps_target_version="5.2"

Nope, it doesn’t work. That would be too easy :upside_down_face:

After reinstalling the gpr.py file and changing version 5.1 to 5.2…

…did you restart Gramps?

Yes, i did. But that no works.
In the Gramplet List it doesn’t appear where you can check all Gramplets for updates.

You are all so kind and patient. That has to be said.

It would not appear in this list. This list is limited to addons found in the Gramps repositories.

Check the Gramps Plugin Manager (menu >> Help >> Plugin Manager). Or if you have installed the enhanced addon version of the Plugin Manger.

This may tell you if it at least seeing the addon.

It´s in this List, but there is not working.

What does the Info Box say?

It is installed

I have it installed in 5.2.3 and it works.

The plugin manager still thinks it is for Gramps 5.1 and not 5.2

Edit deepgallery.gpr.py in the plugin folder. Make sure these lines say 5.2

     gramps_target_version="5.2",

     help_url="5.2_Addons#Addon_List",

And another crazy thought…

…is the deepgallery-main folder the compressed zip folder ?? It should be the folder taken out of the compressed folder.

Then relaunch Gramps.
