<title>Command line reference</title>
<para>This appendix provides the reference to the command line
capabilities available when launching &app; from the terminal. </para>
<para>Let us note here that &app; was designed to be an interactive
program. Therefore it uses graphical display and cannot run from the
true non-graphical console. It would take an enormous amount of effort
to enable it to run in a text-only terminal. This is why the set of
command line options does not aim to completely get rid of dependency
on the graphical display. Rather, it merely makes certain (typical) tasks
more convenient. It also allows one to execute these tasks from the scripts.
However, the graphical display must be accessible at all times!
</para>
<para>To summarize, the use of the command line options provides
non-interactive behavior, but does not get rid of graphical display
dependency. Take it or leave it!
</para>
<sect3 id="cmdline-options">
<title>Available options</title>
<para>Here is the list of the command line options in &app;:
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term>Format options</term>
<listitem><para> The format of any file destined for import or export
can be specified with the
<command>-f</command> <replaceable>format</replaceable>
option. The <replaceable>format</replaceable> can be one of the
following:
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term>gramps</term>
<listitem><para> &app; database. This format is available
for both import and export. When not specified, it can be
guessed if the filename represents a directory.
</para></listitem></varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>gedcom</term>
<listitem><para> GEDCOM file. This format is available
for both import and export. When not specified, it can be
guessed if the filename ends with .ged

</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Import options</term>
<listitem><para> The files destined for import can be specified with
the
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>filename</replaceable>
option. The format can be specified with the <command>-f</command>
option immediately following the <replaceable>filename</replaceable>.
If not specified, the guess will be attempted based on
the <replaceable>filename</replaceable>. For <term>gramps</term>
format, the <replaceable>filename</replaceable> is actually the
name of directory under which the gramps database resides. For
<term>gedcom</term> and <term>gramps-pkg</term>, the
<replaceable>filename</replaceable> is the name of the
corresponding file.

<para>When more than one input file is given, each has to be preceded
by <command>-i</command> flag. The files are imported in the
specified order, i.e.
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file1</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file2</replaceable>
and
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file2</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file1</replaceable>
might produce different gramps IDs in the resulting database.
</para></listitem>

<varlistentry><term>Export options</term>
<listitem><para> The files destined for export can be specified with
the

is actually the name of directory the gramps database will be written
into. For <term>gedcom</term>, <term>wft</term>,
and <term>gramps-pkg</term>, the <replaceable>filename</replaceable>
is the name of the resulting file.

<sect3 id="cmdline-operation">
<title>Operation</title>
<para>The order of <command>-i</command>, <command>-o</command>,
or <command>-a</command> options with respect to each does not matter.
The actual execution order always is: all imports (if any) -> all
exports (if any) -> all actions (if any).</para>
<para>If no <command>-i</command> option is given, gramps will launch
its main window and start the usual interactive session with the empty
database (since there is no data to process, anyway).</para>
<para>If no <command>-o</command> or <command>-a</command> options
are given, gramps will launch its main window and start the usual
interactive session with the database resulted from all imports.
This database resides under
<replaceable>~/.gramps/import</replaceable> directory.</para>
<para>Any errors encountered during import, export, or action, will
be either dumped to stdout (if these are exceptions handled by gramps)
or or to stderr (if these are not handled). Use usual shell redirections
of stdout and stderr to save messages and errors in files.</para>
</sect3>
<sect3 id="cmdline-examples">
<title>Examples</title>
<para>To import four databases (whose formats can be determined from
their names) and then check the resulting database for errors, one may
type:</para>
<para><command>gramps -i</command> <replaceable>file1.ged</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file2.tgz</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>~/db3</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file4.wft</replaceable>
<command>-a</command> <replaceable>check</replaceable>
</para>
<para>To explicitly specify the formats in the above example, append
filenames with appropriate <command>-f</command> options:</para>
<para><command>gramps -i</command> <replaceable>file1.ged</replaceable>
<command>-f</command> <replaceable>gedcom</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file2.tgz</replaceable>
<command>-f</command> <replaceable>gramps-pkg</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>~/db3</replaceable>
<command>-f</command> <replaceable>gramps</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file4.wft</replaceable>
<command>-f</command> <replaceable>wft</replaceable>
<command>-a</command> <replaceable>check</replaceable>
</para>
<para>To record the database resulting from all imports, supply
<command>-o</command> flag (use <command>-f</command>
if the filename does not allow gramps to guess the format):</para>
<para><command>gramps -i</command> <replaceable>file1.ged</replaceable>
<command>-i</command> <replaceable>file2.tgz</replaceable>
<command>-o</command> <replaceable>~/new-package</replaceable>
<command>-f</command> <replaceable>gramps-pkg</replaceable>
</para>
<para>To save any error messages of the above example into files
<replaceable>outfile</replaceable> and

<command>-f</command> <replaceable>gramps-pkg</replaceable>
&gt;<replaceable>outfile</replaceable>
2&gt;<replaceable>errfile</replaceable>
</para>
<para>To import three databases and start interactive gramps

<!-- =============== Customization Sub-subsection ================ -->
<sect3 id="prefs-db-media">
<title>Media Objects</title>
<para>Before describing preferences for media objects, let us
review the background on local and non-local objects. A local object
is the object whose file is stored inside the same directory in which
the &app; database file resides. A non-local object is stored
elsewhere, so that the database has only the reference to the file's
location and some records of the object's properties. </para>
<para>You may choose to store your media objects either locally
or externally. Making your objects local will increase the amount
of disk space consumed by the &app; database directory. However,
if the external file is deleted or removed, &app; will still be able
to use the local copy. In contrast, leaving your objects non-local
will decrease the disk space requirements. However, losing the
original file will render your media object unusable.
</para>
<para>Note that exporting your database to any format will compile
all medial objects, no matter whether they are local or not.
Specifically, export to gramps package will include all the media
object files in the package and change the references accordingly.
Export to CD will copy all media object files to the directory under
the <guilabel>burn:///</guilabel> location in Nautilus and change the
references accordingly. Finally, export to GEDCOM will place all
media object files next to the GEDCOM file with the appropriate
changes in the path names.
</para>
<variablelist>
<varlistentry><term><guilabel>Drag and drop from an external
source</guilabel></term>
<listitem><para> Choose between a reference and a local copy made when
the object is dropped into the gallery. The reference saves disk
space as it does not copy the object. The local copy makes your
database portable as it does not depend on an external file. Consult
your needs to make best choice.</para>

It is important to understand that the GEDCOM standard is poorly implemented --
virtually every genealogical software has its own "flavor" of GEDCOM. As we
learn about new flavor, the import/export filters can be created very quickly.
However, finding out about the unknown flavors requires user feedback.
Please feel free to inform us about any GEDCOM flavor not supported by &app;,
and we will do our best to support it!

<listitem><para> See above.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Can &app; print a genealogical tree for my family?</term>
<listitem><para>
Yes. Different people have different ideas of what a genealogical tree is.
Some think of it as a chart going from the distant ancestor and listing
all his/her descendants and their families. Others think it should be a
chart going from the person back in time, listing the ancestors and their
families. Yet other people think of a table, text report, etc. </para>
<para>
&app; can produce any of the above, and many more different charts and
reports. Moreover, the plugin architechture enables users (you) to create
their own plugins which could be new reports, charts, or research tools.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>In what formats can &app; output its reports?</term>
<listitem><para>
Text reports are available in HTML, PDF, AbiWord, KWord, LaTeX, RTF, and
OpenOffice formats. Graphical reports (charts and diagrams) are available in
PostScript, PDF, SVG, OpenOffice and GraphViz formats.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Is &app; compatible with the Internet?</term>
<listitem><para>
&app; can store web addresses and direct your browser to them. It can import
data that you download from the Internet. It can export data that you could
send over the Internet. &app; is familiar with the standard file formats
widely used on the Internet (e.g. JPEG, PNG, and GIF images, MP3, OGG, and
WAV sound files, QuickTime, MPEG, and AVI movie files, etc). Other than that,
there is little that a genealogical program can do with the Internet :-)
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Can I create custom reports/filters/whatever?</term>
<listitem><para>
Yes. There are many levels of customization. One is creating or modifying
the templates used for the reports. This gives you some control over
the fonts, colors, and some layout of the reports. You can also use &app;
controls in the report dialogs to tell what contents should be used for a
particular report. In addition to this, you have an ability to create your
own filters -- this is useful in selecting people based on criteria set
by you. You can combine these filters to create new, more complex filters.
Finally, you have an option to create your own plugins. These may be new
reports, research tools, import/export filters, etc. This assumes some
knowledge of programming in Python.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>What standards does &app; support?</term>
<listitem><para>
The nice thing about the standards is that there never is a shortage of
them :-). &app; is tested to support the following flavors of GEDCOM:
GEDCOM5.5, Brother's Keeper, Family Origins, Familty Tree Maker, Ftree,
GeneWeb, Legacy, Personal Ancestral File, Pro-Gen, Reunion, and
Visual Genealogie.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>What is the maximum database
size (bytes) &app; can handle?</term>
<listitem><para>
&app; has no hard limits on the size of a database that it can handle.
In reality, however, there are practical limits. Currently &app; loads all
data into memory, so the limiting factor tends to be the available memory
on the system.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>How many people can &app; database handle?</term>
<listitem><para>
We have found that on a typical system, &app; tends to bog down after the
database has around 15,000 people. Again, this is dependant on how much
memory you have.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Why is &app; running so slowly?</term>
<listitem><para>
If &app; seems too slow to you, it is most likely that you have a large
database. Currently, &app; loads all the database into memory, therefore
large databases tend to be less than responsive. Specifically, the system
can be virtually brought to its knees if swapping is needed for &app;' data.
</para> <para>
This will be addressed in the next stable release following version 1.0.
Temporarily, adding more memory could make a huge difference, but we realize
that this is a poor way of treating the problem. If you would like to help
with the implementation of the real database backend, please don't hesitate
to email us at <ulink url="mailto:gramps-devel@lists.sf.net"

</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>My database is really big.
Is there a way around loading all the data into memory?</term>
<listitem><para>
Currently, there is no way around it. However, this is our biggest priority
after releasing version 1.0. The real database backend will be incorporated
in the next stable release (1.2) which will dramatically improve performance
in both speed and memory usage.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Why are non-latin characters displayed
as garbage in PDF/PS reports?</term>
<listitem><para>
This is a known problem -- PS (and PDF) have builtin fonts which pretty much
reflect the latin-1 charset. Any font in principle could be used with PS/PDF
but then it would have to be embedded in the file. This is problematic since
every system has different idea about fonts and their setup.</para>
<para>
This should be resolved as we move to gnome-print. In the meantime, a useable
workaround is to generate reports in OpenOffice.org format and then export
to PDF from the OpenOffice.org application.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>Why can I not add/remove/edit columns to the lists
in People View and Family View?</term>
<listitem><para>
This will be addressed after the TreeModelSort bug is fixed in pygtk,
see <ulink url="http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125172"
type="http">http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125172</ulink>
for the details.
Once the patch is committed and incorporated into pygtk, we will add the
ability to add/remove/edit sortable columns.
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>I would like to contribute to &app; by writing
my favorite report. How do I do that?</term>
<listitem><para>
The easiest way to contribute to reports, filters, tools, etc. is to copy
an existing &app; report, filter, or tool. If you can create what you want
by modifying existing code -- great! If your idea does not fit into the logic
of any existing &app; tool, the <ulink
url="http://gramps.sourceforge.net/phpwiki/index.php/GrampsDevelopersPage"
type="http">following page</ulink> may provide some help in writing your
own plugin from scratch.
If you need more help or would like to discuss your idea with us,
please do not hesitate to contact us at <ulink
url="mailto:gramps-devel@lists.sf.net"
type="mailto">gramps-devel@lists.sf.net</ulink>
</para>
<para>
To test your work in progress, you may save your plugin under
<replaceable>$HOME/.gramps/plugins</replaceable> directory and it should
be found and imported on startup.
The correctly written plugin will register itself with &app;, create menu
item, and so on.</para>
<para>
If you are happy with your plugin and would like to contribute your code
back to the &app; project, you are very welcome to do so by contacting us
at <ulink url="mailto:gramps-devel@lists.sf.net"
type="mailto">gramps-devel@lists.sf.net</ulink>
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>I found a bug and I want it fixed right now!
What do I do?</term>
<listitem><para>
The best thing you can do is to fix the bug and send the patch to
<ulink url="mailto:gramps-devel@lists.sf.net"
type="mailto">gramps-devel@lists.sf.net</ulink> :-)</para>
<para>
The next best thing would be to submit a good bug report. This can be done in
one of the two ways: (1) send your report to
<ulink url="mailto:gramps-bugs@lists.sf.net"
type="mailto">gramps-bugs@lists.sf.net</ulink>
or (2) file your report with the bug tracker system at
<ulink url="http://sf.net/tracker/?group_id=25770" type="http">
http://sf.net/tracker/?group_id=25770&amp;atid=385137</ulink>
(this function is also available by selecting
<menuchoice><guisubmenu>Help</guisubmenu><guimenuitem>Report a
bug</guimenuitem></menuchoice> from gramps main menu). </para>
<para>A good bug report would include: </para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
Version of gramps you were using when you encountered the bug
(available through <menuchoice><guisubmenu>Help</guisubmenu>
<guimenuitem>About</guimenuitem></menuchoice> menu item).
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Language under which gramps was run
(available by executing </para>
<para><command>echo $LANG</command></para>
<para>in your terminal).
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Symptoms indicating that this is indeed a bug.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
Any Traceback messages, error messages, warnings, etc,
that showed up in your terminal or a in separate traceback window.
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>Most problems can be fixed quickly provided there is enough information.
To ensure this, please follow up on your bug reports. In particular, if you
file a bug report with sf.net bug tracker, PLEASE log in to sf.net before
filing
(register your free account if you don't have one). Then we will have a way
of contacting you should we need more information. If you choose to file your
report anonymously, at least check every so often whether your report page
has something new posted, as it probably would.</para>
<para>If the above explanations seem vague, please follow
<ulink url="http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html"
type="http">this link.</ulink>
</para></listitem>
</varlistentry>
<varlistentry><term>It is obvious that &app; absolutely needs to
become a (client-server/web-based/PHP/weblog/Javascript/C++/distributed/KDE/Motif/Tcl/Win32/C#/You-name-it)
application. When is this going to happen?</term>
<listitem><para>
The surest way to see it happen is to get it done by yourself. Since
&app; is free/open source, nobody prevents you from taking all of the
code and continuing its development in whatever direction you see fit.
In doing so, you may consider giving your new project another name to
avoid confusion with the continuing &app; development. If you would
like the &app; project to provide advice, expertise, filters, etc.,
we will gladly cooperate with your new project, to ensure compatability
or import/export options to your new format of a project.</para>
<para>
If, however, you would like the &app; project to to adopt your strategy,
you would need to convince &app; developers that your strategy is good
for &app; and superior to the present development strategy.</para>
<para>
HINT: if &app; developers are still not convinced after about three
messages sent to gramps-devel, maybe you are better off on your own
rather than with a company of retards who can't fully realize the
potential of your great idea :-)

<varlistentry><term>Has a name</term>
<listitem><para> This rule matches any person whose name
matches the specified value in full or in part. For example,
Marta Ericsdotter will be matched by the rule using the
value "eric" for the family name.
</para>
<para> Separate values can be used for Given name, Family name,
Suffix, and the Title. The rule returns a match if and only if
all non-empty values are (partially) matched by a person's
name. To use just one value, leave the other values empty.

<sect3 id="zodb-support">
<title>Optional ZODB support</title>
<para>If either StandaloneZODB or Zope is installed on your system,
&app; will give you the third option of
creating a new ZODB database. You can choose to start your new database
in either XML or ZODB format. Both formats have their strong and weak
points.</para>
<para>XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language, and is a human readable
structured description of data. It could be easily parsed by other
programs should the need occur. It stores only the data itself. Its weak
point is the relatively low speed of processing large data files. </para>
<para>ZODB stands for Zope Object Database and provides the full-fledged
database support. ZODB files are not human readable. They contain a
certain overhead to assist working with large data structures. However,
ZODB provides a significant speed-up when the database size is large (over
a few thousand people). </para>
<para>Its is hard to tell which format is better, since this is a typical
trade-off situation. If you are starting your research then you are likely
to be fine with the regular XML database. If you have tons of data to
import describing thousands upon thousands of people, then you are
probably better off with ZODB. </para>

<para>Views are the various ways to display different aspects of
genealogical information, as described below. Since the relevant
information is very broad and non-uniform in both context and modality,
it is best to split its display into smaller categories, uniform in
context and modality. Each View represents such a split and displays a
certain portion of overall available information. Before the detailed
description of available Views, let us guide you through the ways of
switching between the Views.</para>

<para>Genealogical databases may contain huge numbers of people.
Since the long lists are hard for humans to handle,
&app; provides a convenient way to limit
the scope of browsing by using the filter. To save screen space,
filter controls may be hidden, depending on the state of
<menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Filter</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> menu item.</para>

<!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->
<para>When &app; opens a database, the
filter is set to the trivial filter called <guilabel>All
people</guilabel>, i.e. no filtering is in effect. To choose a
filter, use the pop-up <guilabel>Filter</guilabel> menu above the
people's list. Once the filter is chosen, click the
<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button in the upper right corner of the
window. The filtering will take effect upon clicking the
<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button. To invert the filtering rule,
check the <guilabel>Invert</guilabel> box on the left
of <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button. </para>
<para>Example: To show people without children, choose
<guilabel>People with children</guilabel> filter, then check
<guilabel>Invert</guilabel> box, and then click the
<guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button. To cancel any filtering, set
the filter to <guilabel>All people</guilabel>
and then click the <guibutton>Apply</guibutton> button. </para>
<para>Note: even if the filter controls are not displayed
(<menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Filter</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> menu item is
unchecked), the filtering might still be in place. In other words,
the visibility of the filter controls is not related to the actual
filtering imposed on the list. This may be a cause of confusion, when
you enable the filtering and then remove the controls from the
display. If in doubt, enable the display of filter controls by
checking <menuchoice> <guimenu>View</guimenu>
<guimenuitem>Filter</guimenuitem> </menuchoice> menu item and check
what kind of filtering is currently set.</para>

<para>The Active person's data is in the list box in the upper left
corner of the window. Directly below it, another box lists the Spouse's
data, for each relationship of Active person (can be more than one).
The double-arrow button to the right of the Active person list box
allows you to exchange the currently selected spouse (Current spouse)
with the Active person. Double-clicking on the Active person allows the
editing of Active person's data. Double-clicking on the Current spouse
allows you to edit their relationship information. Shift-clicking on
the Current spouse allows the editing of the Current spouse's data.</para>
<para> To add a new relationship use one of the two upper buttons to the
right of the spouse box. Click the top one to add a new person to a
database and to the new relationship. Click the middle one to add a
person already existing in the database to the new relationship.
To remove Current spouse, click the lowest button
(<guibutton>-</guibutton>) to the
right of the spouse box. Note that removing a spouse from the
relationship does not remove the person from the database. Most of these
functions are also available by right-clicking into the spouse box and
selecting an appropriate items from the context menu. </para>
<para>The parents of both the Active person and the Current spouse
are listed in the corresponding list boxes in the right-hand part of
the window (Active person's parents on top, Current spouse parents
on the bottom). Both list boxes have a set of three buttons on their
right side. The <guibutton>+</guibutton> and <guibutton>-</guibutton>
buttons allow you to add and remove parents of the Active person and the
Current spouse, respectively. Clicking the right arrow button
makes the family in the corresponding list box an active family.
That is, it makes the selected Father the Active person, and the
selected Mother the Current spouse. Most of these
functions are also available by right-clicking into the parent box and
selecting an appropriate items from the context menu. </para>
<para>The bottom list box displays children of the Active person and
the Current Spouse. The Children's list can be ordered by the Birth date
in the usual way of clicking on the <guilabel>Birth date</guilabel> column
header. In addition to the <guilabel>Name</guilabel>,
<guilabel>ID</guilabel>, <guilabel>Gender</guilabel>, and
<guilabel>Birth date</guilabel> columns, the list includes a
<guilabel>Status</guilabel> column. The pair of status words reflect the
relationship between the child and his Father/Mother (such as Birth, Adoption,
etc.) Four buttons are available on the right side of the
children list box. The top (left arrow) button makes
the selected child the Active person. The next two buttons add a new
child to the family: the upper one adds a new person to the database
and to the family, the lower one just adds a person existing in the
database to the family. Finally, the lowest <guibutton>-</guibutton>
button removes the selected child from the family. Note that removing
a child from the family does not remove the person from the
database. Most of these functions are also available by right-clicking
into the children box and selecting an appropriate items from the
context menu.</para>
<para>The layout of the Family View can be switched from the
left-to-right arrangement (shown above) to the top-to-bottom
arrangement (shown below). This can be done in the
<guilabel>Display</guilabel> section of the
<guilabel>Preferences</guilabel> dialog. The top-to-bottom view
has the same functionality as the left-to-right view. </para>

<para>The Pedigree View helps to visualize the place of the Active
person in the tree of his/her ancestors. The Pedigree View shows four
generations, going back in time from the Active person
<guilabel>1</guilabel> to his/her parents <guilabel>2</guilabel>,
to grandparents <guilabel>3</guilabel>, to great-grandparents
<guilabel>4</guilabel>.
Each person is denoted by a box bearing the person's name.
The two lines that converge on the box represent ties with the
person's Father (top line) and mother (bottom line). Solid lines
represent birth relations, while dashed lines represent non-birth
relations (such as adoption, step-parenthood, guardianship, etc.).
When the mouse moves over the white box, it expands to display the
corresponding person's dates of birth and death. When the mouse is
placed over the family line, the line become highlighted to indicate
an active link: double-clicking on the line makes the corresponding
ancestor the Active person. The display in that case is re-adjusted
to show four generations, starting from the newly selected Active
person. </para>

Upon clicking, the button expands to the menu listing the children
of the Active person. Selecting the menu item makes the corresponding
child the Active person. The appearance of the children's names
in the menu serves to differentiate the "dead ends" of the tree from
the continuing branches as follows. The children who have children
appear in the menu in the boldface and italic typeset, while the
children without children ("dead ends") appear in a regular
font. If the Active person has a single child, no menu will be
displayed (since there is no choice) and the child will become
the Active person upon clicking the arrow button. </para>
<para>The right-hand side of the window shows two right arrow buttons.
When the top button is clicked, the Father of the Active person
becomes the Active person. Clicking the bottom button makes the Mother of
the Active person the Active person. Again, the display is re-adjusted
to show four generations, starting from the newly selected Active
person.</para>
