If you would like to start - creating your brand new database from scratch right away, choose new XML - database. - - - - - Optional ZODB support - - 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. - - 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. - - 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). - - 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. - - - - - - Obtaining Help - At any time, the following items are available for immediate aid - from the Help menu: - - - - User manual - Choose this item to read the text of this manual - in the help browser. - - - GRAMPS home page - Select this item to open home page of &app; in your - default web browser. - - - GRAMPS mailing lists - Choose this item to direct your web browser - to the &app; mailing list archives. - - - Report a bug - Use this item to file a bug report against &app; - with the bug tracking system. - - - Show plugin status - Use this item to display the status of loaded - plugins. - - - Open example database - Select this item to load the example database shipped - with &app;. This database is composed of fictitious people and serves as - a useful example for learning how to work with &app;. - - - - - - - - - Main Window - When you open a database (either existing or brand new), - the following window is displayed. - - -
- &app; Main Window - - - Shows &app; main window. Contains titlebar, menubar, - toolbar, sidebar, display area, statusbar, progressbar, and - scrollbars. Menubar contains File, Edit, View, Bookmarks, - Reports, Tools, Settings, and Help menus. -
- - - The &app; window contains the following elements: - - Menubar - The menubar is located at the very top of the window - (right below the window title) and provides access to all features of - &app; through its menus. - - Toolbar - The toolbar is located immediately below the menubar. - The toolbar provides access to the most frequently used functions - of &app;. The appearance of the toolbar - can be adjusted in the Preferences - dialog. - - Progressbar - The progressbar is located in the lower left corner - of the &app; window. It displays the - progress of time consuming operations, such as opening and saving - large data bases, importing and exporting to other formats, generating - web sites, etc. - - Statusbar - The statusbar is located to the right of the - progressbar, on the very bottom of the &app; window. - It displays information about current &app; - activity and contextual information about the menu items. - The behavior of the statusbar can be adjusted in - Preferences dialog. - - Display area - The largest area in the center of the - &app; window is the display area. - It shows certain aspects of genealogical information, depending on the - currently selected View. The following six Views are available - in &app;: - - People View - Family View - Pedigree View - Sources View - Places View - Media View - - - - - - - - - Views - 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. - - - - Switching Views and Viewing Modes - Depending on the state of the - ViewSidebar - menu item, the View could be switched either in the - sidebar or in the notebook tabs in the top part of the window. - - - - To switch the View while in a Sidebar mode, - click on the desired sidebar icon. - - -
- Sidebar Viewing Mode - - - Shows sidebar viewing mode. -
- - - - To switch the View while in a Notebook mode, - click on the desired notebook tab. - - -
- Tabbed Viewing Mode - - - Shows tabbed viewing mode. -
- - - - - To switch between sidebar and notebook viewing modes, - choose View - Sidebar - from the &app; menu. - - - - - - People View - When &app; opens a database, - the View is set to the People View ( - and ). The People View lists - individuals whose data is stored in the database. The People View - displays people's Names, - &app; ID numbers, - Gender, and - their Birth and Death dates. - The list can be ordered by any field. - - Example: to order list by the Birth date, click on the - Birth date column heading. To order list in - reverse (descending) order, click one more time on the desired column - heading. - - - - Filters - 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 - View - Filter menu item. - - -
- Filter Controls Displayed - - - Shows filter controls. -
- - - When &app; opens a database, the - filter is set to the trivial filter called All - people, i.e. no filtering is in effect. To choose a - filter, use the pop-up Filter menu above the - people's list. Once the filter is chosen, click the - Apply button in the upper right corner of the - window. The filtering will take effect upon clicking the - Apply button. To invert the filtering rule, - check the Invert box on the left - of Apply button. - - Example: To show people without children, choose - People with children filter, then check - Invert box, and then click the - Apply button. To cancel any filtering, set - the filter to All people - and then click the Apply button. - - Note: even if the filter controls are not displayed - ( View - Filter 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 View - Filter menu item and check - what kind of filtering is currently set. - - - - - Alphabetical Tabs - &app; offers another way of - managing long lists of people -- alphabetical tabs. Upon loading a - database, &app; checks for the stored - family names and breaks the people list into sublists based on the - first letter of their name. The alphabetical tabs are displayed in - the bottom part of the &app; window. - The last tab, Other, stands for unidentified - characters -- all the entries not assigned to any other tab end up - in Other. In particular, people with no family - name will appear under this category. - - - - - - - Family View - Family View displays the family information of a currently - selected (or Active) person. Specifically, this view shows the - relationships (e.g marriages, partnerships, etc.) of the active - person, his/her parents (or step parents, or guardians, etc), and - his/her children (could be step children, adopted children, etc.). - + &getstart; + &mainwin; + &usage; + &custom; - -
- Family View - - - Shows Family View. -
- - - 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. - - 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 - (-) to the - right of the spouse box. Note that removing a spouse from the - relationship does not remove the person from the database. - - 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 + and - - 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. - - 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 Birth date column - header. In addition to the Name, - ID, Gender, and - Birth date columns, the list includes a - Status 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 - - button removes the selected child from the family. Note that removing - a child from the family does not remove the person from the database. - - - - - Pedigree View - - -
- Pedigree View - - - Shows Pedigree View. -
- - - 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 - 1 to his/her parents 2, - to grandparents 3, to great-grandparents - 4. - Each person is denoted by a white 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 changes color 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. - - The left-hand side of the window shows the left arrow button. - 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 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. - - - - - Sources View - - -
- Sources View - - - Shows Sources View. -
- - - The Sources View lists the sources of information stored in the - database. This can include various documents (birth, death, and - marriage certificates, etc.), books, films, journals, private diaries, - i.e. virtually anything that can be classified as a source of - information. The sources can be used as a reference for any event - stored in the database. The Source View lists the - Title, ID, and the - Author of the source. Any column can be - used for sorting the list. The usual rules apply: one click for - ascending order, another click for descending order. - - - - - Places View - - -
- Places View - - - Shows Places View. -
- - - The Places View lists the geographical places in which the events - of the database took place. These could be places of birth, death, - and marriages of people, as well as their home, employment, education - addresses, or any other conceivable reference to the geographical - location. The Places View lists the places' Name, - ID, Church Parish, - City, County, - State, and Country. All of - these columns can be used for sorting by the usual sorting rules. - - - - - Media View - - -
- Media View - - - Shows Media View. -
- - - The Media View is a list of Media Objects used in the database. - Media Objects are any files that relate somehow to the stored - genealogical data. Technically, any file can be stored as a Media - Object. Most frequently, these are images, audio files, animation - files, etc. The list box on the bottom lists the Name, ID, Type, and - Path to the Media Object. The top part of the GRAMPS window shows - a preview (if available) and information about the Media - Object. - - - - - - - - - Usage - As commonly encountered in everyday life, in - &app; there is usually more than one way to - accomplish something. The alternatives to some actions will therefore - be listed as appropriate. - - - - Starting a New Database - To start a new database, choose File - New. You will then be - prompted with the Save Database dialog asking - to specify the name under which the new database will be stored. - Choose an empty directory for your new - database (create one if necessary). - - - - - Opening a Database - To open a database, either choose - FileOpen - or click the Open button on the Toolbar. - The Open Database dialog will appear. - Either type the full path into the Database text - entry field, or click the Browse... button to get - the Open File dialog in which you can select the - database that you want to open. After you have selected the database, - click the OK button to open it. - - If you have previously opened databases with &app; you can - retrieve your past selections from the drop-down menu by clicking the - down arrow button. Finally, if the Revision Control System (RCS) is - enabled in the Preferences dialog, the check box - Revert to an older version from RCS will be - available. Check it to revert your database to an older RCS - version. - - NOTE: you should open a DIRECTORY and - NOT a FILE when opening - &app; database. The directory you need to open should contain the - database file (data.gramps or data.zodb) as well as any possible copies - of media objects. Such a directory is created by &app; when you start - a new database and is updated each time the database is saved. - - - - - Saving a Database - To save changes made to your database, choose - File - Save or click the - Save button on the Toolbar. The statusbar will then - display the Saving databasename... - message, and the progressbar will advance as the saving progresses. - - - - - Importing Data - Importing allows you to incorporate the data from other - databases into your currently open &app; database. Currently, - &app; can import data from three different - formats: GEDCOM, &app; database, and &app; package. All of these are - available as items of File - Import submenu. - - Both &app; database, and &app; package are native &app; - formats. The package is a compressed archive containing the database - file and all media objects (images, sound files, etc.) that the - database refers to. The package is created by exporting data to - the &app; package, see . - The &app; database is a directory containing the database file and - the local media objects. The database may also have references - to non-local (external) media objects, therefore it is not guaranteed - to be completely portable. The &app; database is created by saving - the data in a usual way, see . - - - Note that the difference between opening &app; database and - importing from &app; database is that importing incorporates all the - data into your currently open database, if any. - - After choosing an import format, you will be prompted with the - Open File dialog asking you to specify the - file name from which to import. For GEDCOM and - &app; package, select an appropriate file. - For &app; database, select a directory which stores - the database and all media files (if any). - - Upon starting the GEDCOM import, &app; - will display the following GEDCOM import dialog with the summary of the - information about the data. The information is updated as the import - progresses. - - -
- GEDCOM Import - - - Shows GEDCOM Import Window. -
- - - Upon starting the &app; database or &app; package import, - &app; will display the progress in the - progressbar of its main window. - - If a media file is not found during import, the following dialog - will prompt you for the possible actions: - - -

This will alter your - database so that it will be in a consistent state, but all the - references to the missing file will be gone. Use this option if the - file is irrevocably lost and there is no possibility of ever replacing - it. - - - - To keep the reference to the object corresponding to the missing - file, click the Keep Reference button. - This will leave things as is, i.e. in an inconsistent state. - You could supply the missing file later, in which case you will have - to copy it into your database directory. Choose this option if the - replacement is possible, but not available right now. - - - To supply the missing file during import, click the - Select File button. This will copy the file you - select in place of the missing file. No references will be altered - in the database, and it will be in the consistent state. Use this option - if the replacement is readily available. - - - - - - - - - Exporting Data - - Exporting allows you to share any portion of your &app; database - with other researchers as well as to make your database completely - portable to another computer. Currently, &app; - can export data to three different formats: CD, GEDCOM, &app; package, - and Web Family Tree. All of these are available as items of - File - Export submenu. - - Exporting to CD will prepare you database directory with all its - contents to be recorded to the CD. This is done through the - burn:/// location in Nautilus. After exporting to - CD, go to the burn:/// location by - selecting Go - CD Creator in Nautilus menu. Your - database directory will show up. To record it onto the CD, click the CD - icon on the Nautilus toolbar, or select File - Write to CD in Nautilus menu. - - - Exporting to GEDCOM will create a GEDCOM file, according to the - settings set in the following dialog: - - -

This section describes many alternative ways - to navigate through the database using both the complex and the - convenient interfaces &app; provides. All these ways eventually - accomplish the same thing, but some are more convenient than others, - depending what you are doing in &app; at the moment. - - - - Using the People View - The most intuitive way to select an active person is - to use the People View (see ). - When in the People View, just select the - name of the desired person from the list by clicking that list - entry.

Also, you can jump directly from a - great-grandson to a great-grandfather without going through the - intermediate generations. - - Note that after changing the active person in the Pedigree - View, the display is re-adjusted to show four generations, starting - from the newly selected Active person. When in the Pedigree View, you - can easily navigate between the members of the displayed family tree - as follows: - - - To make any displayed person the active person, - double-click the line that connects to the left side of the - corresponding box. - - To make a child of the currently active person (if any) - the active person, click the left arrow button to the left of the - corresponding box. If there is more than one child, the button expands - to the menu listing the children to choose from. - - To move the whole family tree one generation back, - click on the corresponding right arrow button on the right-hand side - of the display area. Clicking the upper button will move the tree - along the paternal line. Clicking the lower button will move the - tree along the maternal line. - - Clicking either of these buttons is completely equivalent to - double-clicking the lines connecting to the left of the corresponding - boxes for father and mother. - - - - - - - Setting the Default Person - One and only one person in the database can be selected as the - default person. Once the default person is selected, moving to that - person becomes a matter of a single click, regardless of which view - you are using at the moment. - - To set the default person, first navigate to that person using - any method you like. Then choose - Settings - Default Person. Once this is - done, you can move to the default person from anywhere in the - database by simply clicking the Home icon - on the toolbar. - - - - - - Bookmarking People - Similar to setting the default person, you can bookmark other - people from the database to simplify further navigation. To bookmark - a person, first navigate to that person, then choose - Bookmarks - Add bookmark. To move to that - person from anywhere in the database, choose - Bookmarks - Go to bookmark - Person's name - . - - You can manage your bookmarks by choosing - Bookmarks - Edit bookmarks.... This opens - the following Edit Bookmarks dialog with the - list of bookmarks and the controls to modify this list. - - -
- Edit Bookmarks dialog - - - Shows Edit Bookmarks dialog. -
- - - - - - - Finding People - To find a person in a database, choose - EditFind... - when in the People View, Family View, or Pedigree View. This opens a - Find Person dialog which can be used for searching - forward and backward. - - If the search is successful, the found person becomes an active - person and the display adjusts according to the new active person and the - current view. - - - - - Finding Sources - To find a source in a database, choose - EditFind... - when in the Sources View. This opens a Find Source - dialog which can be used for searching forward and backward. If the - search is successful, the found source becomes highlighted. - - - - - Finding Places - To find a place in a database, choose - EditFind... - when in the Places View. This opens a Find Place - dialog which can be used for searching forward and backward. If the - search is successful, the found place becomes highlighted. - - - - - Finding Media Objects - To find a media object in a database, choose - EditFind... - when in the Media View. This opens a Find Media Objects - dialog which can be used for searching forward and backward. If the - search is successful, the found media object becomes highlighted. - - - - - - - Generating Reports - Reports are the most common form of the output produced by - genealogical research. The majority of genealogical software puts a lot - of emphasis on developing nicely looking reports. &app; is no - exception in this regard: it offers a choice of a variety of reports. - &app; can generate reports in a multitude of open formats, both - text based and graphical. &app; can also produce screen based reports - that are convenient for viewing a summary of your database. - Finally, &app; can generate a web site suitable for immediate - posting on the Internet. All these are almost infinitely flexible: - if you wish to modify or extend the default format of &app; report - you can design and choose the style for each of your reports. - - All reports can be accessed through the menu by choosing - Reports - Report Type - Particular - Report. Alternatively, - you can browse the complete selection of available reports along - with their brief descriptions in a Report - Selection dialog evoked by clicking the - Reports icon on the toolbar. - - - - - - Graphical Reports - Graphical reports represent information in forms of charts - and graphs. Most of the options are common among graphical reports, - therefore they will be described only once, at the end of this - section. The few options which are specific to a given report will be - described directly in that report's entry. - - The following graphical reports are currently - available in &app;: - - - - Ancestor Chart - This report generates the chart of people who are - ancestors of the Active person. Specific options include - the number of generations considered and the format of the displayed - entries. - - - Descendant Graph - This report generates a graph of people who are - descendants of the Active person. Specific options include - the format of the displayed entries. - - - Relationship Graph - This report creates a complex relationship graph in - GraphViz format. The GraphViz dot tool can - transform the graph into postscript, jpeg, png, vrml, svg, and many - other formats. GraphViz tools are freely available from the - GraphViz - site. Specific options for this report - include filter and number of generations considered, as well as - several GraphViz-specific options related to pagination, color, - and details of the graph. - - - Timeline Graph - This report outputs the list of people with their - lifetimes represented by intervals on a common chronological scale. - Specific options include filter, sorting method, and the title of - the report. - - - - - Common options for graphical reports are the filename of the - output, the format of the output, selected style, page size and - orientation. - - - - - - Text Reports - Text reports represent the desired information as formatted - text. Most of the options are common among text reports, - therefore they will be described only once, at the end of this - section. The options which are specific to a given report will be - described directly in that report's entry. - - The following text reports are currently - available in &app;: - - - - Ahnentafel Report - This report lists the active person and his or her - ancestors along with their vital data. The people are numbered in a - special way which is an established standard called Ahnentafel. - The active person is given number 1. His or her father and mother - have numbers 2 and 3, respectively. This rule holds for every person - while going back in generations: father's parents are numbered 4 and 5, - and mother's parents are numbered 6 and 7, fathers always numbered - with even and mothers with odd numbers. Therefore, for any person - having number N in this tree, the numbers of father and mother - are 2N and 2N+1, respectively. - - - - Comprehensive Ancestors Report - This report produces a comprehensive description - of ancestors of the active person. The highlights of this report - include elaborate layout, images of children, present and former - spouses, and source citations. Specific options: number - of backward generations to consider, whether to cite sources, - and whether to break pages between generations. - - - Complete Individual Report - This report provides individual summaries similar to - that of the Individual Summary report. The advantage of this report - is the specific filter option. Depending on the filter choice (active - person only, his or her descendants, his or her ancestors, or entire - database), the report may contain from one to many individual - summaries. Another option for this report is the inclusion of - source information when listing events. - - - Descendant Report - This report produces a brief description - of descendants of the active person. Specific options: number - of forward generations to consider. - - - Detailed Ancestral Report - This report covers in detail the ancestors of the - active person. It includes vital data (birth and death) as well as - marriages. Specific options: number of backward generations - to consider, as well as a variety of options regarding the exact - contents to include. - - - Detailed Descendant Report - This report covers in detail the descendants of the - active person. It includes vital (birth and death) information as well as - marriages. Specific options: number of forward generations - to consider. - - - FTM Style Ancestral Report - This report creates an ancestral report similar to - that produced by the Family Tree Maker (tm) program. It covers in detail the - active person and his/her ancestors It includes vital information - as well as marriages, children, and notes. Specific options: number - of backward generations to consider. - - - FTM Style Descendant Report - This report creates a descendant report similar to - that produced by the Family Tree Maker (tm) program. It covers in detail the - active person and his/her descendants. It includes vital information - as well as marriages, children, and notes. Specific options: - number of forward generations to consider. - - - Family Group Report - This creates a family group report, showing - information on a set of parents and their children. Specific - options: the spouse (available only if the active person has more - than one spouse). - - - Individual Summary - This report produces a detailed summary on the - active person. The report includes all the facts known to the - database about that person. - - - - - Common options for text reports are the filename of the - output, the format of the output, selected style, page size and - orientation. For HTML reports, there is no page information. - Instead, HTML options include the choice of the HTML template, - either available in &app; or a custom template defined by you. - - - - - - Books - Currently, the only available report under this category - is the Book Report. - - The Book Report creates a single document (i.e. a Book) - containing a collection of graphical and textual reports. - Consequently, this allows for a very rich set of documents - that &app; can produce. - - - When Book Report is selected, the following book configuration - dialog appears: - - -
- Book Report dialog - - - Shows Book Report dialog. -
- - - The Book name text entry field is used to - save the book (a set of configured selections) for future use. - The pane on the left-hand side lists the items available for inclusion in the - book. The pane on the right-hand side lists the currently selected items in - the order they will appear in the book. - - The top set of buttons between the panes operates on the - selected book item. Click the Add button to add selected - item from the available list to the current book. Click the - Remove button to remove an item from the current book. - Use Up and Down to change - the items order in the current book. Click the Setup - button to configure the options of the selected item of the current book. - - - The bottom set of buttons between the panes operates on the - whole book. Click the Clear button to clear all items from - the current book. Click the Save button to save the current - book (under the name typed in the Book name text - entry field) for future use. Note that saving the book also saves the - configuration for each item. Click the Open button to load - the book from the list of previously saved books. Finally, click the - Edit books button to evoke the editable list of - available books. - - - The configuration dialogs evoked by Setup - are item-specific. If you choose not to configure the item, sane - defaults will be used for all needed options. The common option for - almost all book items is the center person: the person on whom the - item is centered. Thanks to this option, you can create a book with - items centered on different people (e.g. your mom's and dad's - ancestors as separate chapters). By default, the center person is set to - the active person. - - Almost all items available for inclusion in the book are textual - or graphical reports, and are therefore available in the form of standalone - reports. The exception is the following items which are only available as - book items: - - - - Title Page - This item produces a customized Title page. You can - configure the text of title, subtitle, and the footer of the page. - An image can be optionally placed between the subtitle and the footer. - Because of its configurability, this item can be used to create - title pages for the whole book, its chapter, or even a single item. - - - - - Custom Text - This item produces a page with three paragraphs, each - containing custom text. The appearance of the text can be adjusted by - using custom styles. This item was meant to be used for epigraphs, - dedications, explanations, notes, and so forth. - - - - - - - - - - View Reports - View reports represent overall summaries of the database - information available immediately for on-screen viewing. - The following view reports are currently available in &app;: - - - - Number of ancestors - This report displays the number of ancestors of the - active person. - - - Summary of the database - This report displays the overall statistics concerning - number of individuals of each gender, various incomplete entries - statistics, as well as family and media statistics. - - - - - - - - Web Page - - This report generates web pages, either for a selected - individual (active person) or a set of individuals. The options - for this report are broken down into contents, privacy, and advanced - options. The contents options include the filter (determine the - scope of the database to consider), - destination directory for the images, an optional short ancestor tree, - and a link to the index page. - Privacy options allow you to omit private records, restrict - information on living people, skip images (either all or only - those of living people), and omit comments and text in source - information. Finally, the advanced options allow you to include - the optional &app; ID, create a GENDEX index, and specify the - extension of the resulting files. - - - - - - - - Running Tools - &app; tools allow you to perform various types of analyses - of your genealogical data. Typically, the tools do not produce - output in form of printouts or files. Instead, they produce screen - output immediately available for the researcher. However, when - appropriate, you can save the results of running a tool into a file. - Tools present one of the major strengths of &app; compared to the most - genealogical software. - - The tools can be accessed through the menu by choosing - Tools - Tool Section - Particular - Tool. Alternatively, - you can browse the complete selection of available tools along - with their brief descriptions in a Tool - Selection dialog evoked by clicking the - Tools icon on the toolbar. - - - - Analysis and Exploration - This section contains tools which analyze and explore the - database, but do not alter it. The following analysis and exploration - tools are currently available in &app;: - - - - Compare individual events - This tool compares events across the selected group of - people. The people for this comparison are chosen with the use of - custom filters. The custom filters can be created in the Custom Filter - Editor (see ). The resulting table produced - by this tool can be saved as a spreadsheet. - - - Interactive descendant browser - This tool builds a tree with the active person being - the root. Children branch from their parents in the usual manner. - Use this tool for a quick glance of a person's descendants. - - - - - - - - - Database Processing - This section contains tools which may modify your database. - The modifications will only be performed upon your explicit consent. - The tools from this section are used mostly for finding and correcting - errors in the data. The following database processing tools are - currently available in &app;: - - - - Check and repair database - This tool checks the database for integrity problems, - fixing the problems it can. Specifically, the tool is checking for: - - Broken family links. These are the cases when - a person's record refers to a family while the family's record - does not refer to that person, and vice versa. - - - Missing media objects. The missing media - object is the object whose file is referenced in the database - but does not exist. This can happen when the file is - accidentially deleted, renamed, or moved to another location. - - - Empty families. These are the family entries - which have no reference to any person as their member. - - - Parent relationship. This checks all families - to ensure that father and mother are not mixed up. The check - is also made that parents have different gender. If they have - common gender then their relationship is renamed to "Partners". - - - - - - - Extract information from names - This tool searches the entire database and attempts - to extract titles and nicknames that may be embedded in a person's - Given name field. - - - - Find possible duplicate people - This tool searches the entire database, looking - for the entries that may represent the same person. - - - - Rename personal event types - This tool allows all the events of a certain name - to be renamed to a new name. - - - - Reorder &app; IDs - This tool reorders the &app; IDs according to the - defaults of &app;. - - - - - - - - - - Utilities - - - This section contains tools allowing you to perform a simple - operation on a portion of data. The results can be saved in your - database, but they will not modify your existing data. - The following utilities are currently available in &app;: - - - - Custom Filter Editor - The Custom Filter Editor builds custom filters - that can be used to select people included in reports, exports, - and other tools and utilities. This is in fact a very powerful tool - in genealogical analysis. - - When you launch it, the User defined filters - dialog appears that lists all the filters (if any) previously defined - by you. Click the Add... button to define a new filter. - Once you have designed your filters, you can edit, test, and delete - selected filters using the Edit..., - Test..., and Delete... - buttons, respectively. All the filters displayed in the list will be - automatically saved along with your database and will be available - with subsequent sessions of &app;. - - Clicking the Add... button invokes the - following Define filter dialog: - - -
- Define filter dialog - - - Shows Define filter dialog. -
- - - Type the name for your new filter into the - Name field. Enter any comment that would help you - identify this filter in the future into the Comment - field. Add as many rules to the Rule list as you - would like to your filter using Add... button. - Check Return values that do not match the filter rules - (invert) to negate the filter rule (e.g. inverting "has a - common ancestor with I1" rule will match everyone who does not have a - common ancestor with that person). If the filter has more than one rule, - select one of the Rule operations. This allows you - to choose whether all rules must apply, only one (either) rule must - apply, or exactly one (either) rule must apply, in order for the filter - to generate a match. If your filter has only one rule, this selection - has no effect. - - Note that a filter you've already designed may be used as a rule - for another filter. This gives you nearly infinite flexibility in - custom-tailoring your selection criteria that can be later used in - most of the exports, reports and some of the tools (such as comparing - individual events). - - - Generate SoundEx codes - This utility generates SoundEx codes for the names of - people in the database. Please visit the NARA Soundex Indexing page to learn more about - Soudex Indexing System. - - - - Relationship calculator - This utility calculates the relationship between - two people from the database. - - - - Verify the database - This utility allows you to verify the database based - on the set of criteria specified by you. This tool is different from - the previously described Check tool in the following. The Check tool - detects inconsistencies in the database structure. The Verify tool, - however, is detecting the records that do not satisfy your particualr - criteria. - - For example, you may want to make sure that nobody in your - database had children at the age of 98. Based on common sense, such - a record would indicate an error. However, it is not a consistency - error in the database. Besides, someone might have a child at the of - 98 (albeit this rarely happens). The Verify tool will display - everything that violates your criteria so that you can check whether - the record is erroneous or not. The ultimate decision is yours. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Settings - To configure &app;, choose - Settings - Preferences.... - The Preferences dialog contains the following - categories: - - - - - - - - - - Usage - This category contains preferences relevant to the - general usage of &app;. It has the following subcategories: - - - - Find - - - - Enable autocompletion - If this box is checked, &app; will attempt to complete - the text as you type it into text entry fields such as family name, - place of birth, etc. Completion is attempted based on the match - between the beginning of the text being typed and the corresponding - data already stored in the database. - - - - - - - - - - Report Preferences - - - - Preferred text format - Select the preferred format for text reports - from the available formats listed in this menu. - - - - Preferred graphical format - Select the preferred format for graphical reports - from the available formats listed in this menu. - - - - Preferred paper size - Select the preferred paper size used for reports - from the available sizes listed in this menu. - - - - Default report directory - Choose the default directory for the reports using the - Browse... button or type it in the text entry - field. - - - Default web site directory - Choose the default directory for the web site using the - Browse... button or type it in the text entry - field. - - - - - - - - - Researcher Information - - - - Researcher information - Enter your personal information in the corresponding - text entry fields. Although &app; requests information about you, - this information is used only so that &app; can create valid GEDCOM - output files. A valid GEDCOM file requires information about the file's - creator. If you choose, you may leave the information empty, however - none of your exported GEDCOM files will be valid. - - - - - - - - - - Data Guessing - - - - Surname guessing - This option is not currently implemented. - - - - - - - - - - - - Display - This category contains preferences relevant to - displaying database records and controls in &app;. - It has the following subcategories: - - - - General - - - - Always display the LDS ordinance tabs - Check this box to have LDS ordinance tabs displayed. - If you do not know what LDS is then you probably should not check it. - - - - Show index numbers in child list - - This option is not currently implemented. - - - - - - - - - Dates and Calendar - - - - Display: Date format - Select the display format for the dates - from the available formats listed in this menu. - - - - Name format - Select the display format for the names - from the available formats listed in this menu. - - - - Entry: Date format - Select the entry format for the dates - from the available formats listed in this menu. - - - - Show calendar format selection menu - Check this box to enable the calendar format selection - menu when you are entering dates in the Event - Editor dialog. - - - - - - - - - Toolbar and Statusbar - - - Toolbar - Select the desired appearance of the toolbar icons - using the radio buttons. - - - - Statusbar - Select the desired contents displayed in the - statusbar using the radio buttons. - - - - - - - - - - - Database - This category contains preferences relevant to the - database itself. It has the following subcategories: - - - - General - - - - Automatically load last database - Check this box to automatically load the last open - database on startup. - - - Do not compress XML data file - Check this box to disable compression of the XML - data file. Compression significantly reduces the file size. While it - creates an overhead in performance (some processor cycles must be spent - to decompress the file before use), this overhead is extremely small. - Now that the compression-related bugs have long been fixed, there is - virtually no reason to disable data file compression. - - - - Capitalize surnames - Check this box to capitalize surnames entered into the - database. - - - Autosave interval - Set the interval (in minutes) after which &app; will - automatically save your database. Setting the interval to zero (0) - disables autosaving. - - - Default database directory - Choose the default directory in which &app; starts - looking when saving the database using the Browse... - or type its path into the text entry field. - - - - - - - - Media Objects - - 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. - - 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. - - - Note that exporting your database to any format will complie - all medial objects, no matter whether they are local or not. - Specifially, 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 burn:/// 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 approrpiate - changes in the path names. - - - - - Drag and drop from an external - source - 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. - - Check the Display global properties editor when - object is dropped box to invoke the global properties - editor after you drop an external object into the gallery. - - - - Drag and drop from an internal - source - Check the Display local properties editor - when object is dropped box to invoke the local properties - editor after you drop an internal object into the gallery. - - - - - - - - - &app; internal IDs - - - - GRAMPS ID prefixes - Enter ID prefixes for various kinds of database - entries into the corresponding text entry fields. - - - - Allow internal GRAMPS ID numbers to be - edited - Check this box to enable editing of the internal &app; - ID numbers. Unless you know what you are doing, leave it unchecked. - - - - - - - - - Revision Control - - - - Use revision control - Check this box to enable &app; to use the revision control - system for your database. If you choose this option, select the - particular revision control system from the menu. - - - - Prompt for comment on save - Check this box to instruct &app; to prompt you to enter - the comment when you save the database. - - - - - - - - - - - + + + + + Appendices + + &filtref; + &cmdline; + + + diff --git a/gramps2/doc/gramps-manual/C/mainwin.xml b/gramps2/doc/gramps-manual/C/mainwin.xml new file mode 100644 index 000000000..50a499311 --- /dev/null +++ b/gramps2/doc/gramps-manual/C/mainwin.xml @@ -0,0 +1,407 @@ + + + + + Main Window + When you open a database (either existing or brand new), + the following window is displayed. + + +

It displays the + progress of time consuming operations, such as opening and saving + large data bases, importing and exporting to other formats, generating + web sites, etc. + + Statusbar + The statusbar is located to the right of the + progressbar, on the very bottom of the &app; window. + It displays information about current &app; + activity and contextual information about the menu items. + The behavior of the statusbar can be adjusted in + Preferences dialog. + + Display area + The largest area in the center of the + &app; window is the display area. + It shows certain aspects of genealogical information, depending on the + currently selected View. The following six Views are available + in &app;: + + People View + Family View + Pedigree View + Sources View + Places View + Media View + + + + + + + + + Views + 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. + + + + Switching Views and Viewing Modes + Depending on the state of the + ViewSidebar + menu item, the View could be switched either in the + sidebar or in the notebook tabs in the top part of the window. + + + + To switch the View while in a Sidebar mode, + click on the desired sidebar icon. + + +
+ Sidebar Viewing Mode + + + Shows sidebar viewing mode. +

The People View lists + individuals whose data is stored in the database. The People View + displays people's Names, + &app; ID numbers, + Gender, and + their Birth and Death dates. + The list can be ordered by any field. + + Example: to order list by the Birth date, click on the + Birth date column heading. To order list in + reverse (descending) order, click one more time on the desired column + heading. + + + + Filters + 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.

+ Filter Controls Displayed + + + Shows filter controls. +
+ + + When &app; opens a database, the + filter is set to the trivial filter called All + people, i.e. no filtering is in effect. To choose a + filter, use the pop-up Filter menu above the + people's list. Once the filter is chosen, click the + Apply button in the upper right corner of the + window. The filtering will take effect upon clicking the + Apply button. To invert the filtering rule, + check the Invert box on the left + of Apply button. + + Example: To show people without children, choose + People with children filter, then check + Invert box, and then click the + Apply button. To cancel any filtering, set + the filter to All people + and then click the Apply button. + + Note: even if the filter controls are not displayed + ( View + Filter 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 View + Filter menu item and check + what kind of filtering is currently set. + + + + + Alphabetical Tabs + &app; offers another way of + managing long lists of people -- alphabetical tabs. Upon loading a + database, &app; checks for the stored + family names and breaks the people list into sublists based on the + first letter of their name. The alphabetical tabs are displayed in + the bottom part of the &app; window. + The last tab, Other, stands for unidentified + characters -- all the entries not assigned to any other tab end up + in Other. In particular, people with no family + name will appear under this category. + + + + + + + Family View + Family View displays the family information of a currently + selected (or Active) person. Specifically, this view shows the + relationships (e.g marriages, partnerships, etc.) of the active + person, his/her parents (or step parents, or guardians, etc), and + his/her children (could be step children, adopted children, etc.). + + + +
+ Family View + + + Shows Family View. +
+ + + 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. + + 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 + (-) 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. + + 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 + and - + 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. + + 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 Birth date column + header. In addition to the Name, + ID, Gender, and + Birth date columns, the list includes a + Status 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 - + button removes the selected child from the family. Note that removing + a child from the family does not remove the person from the database. + + + + + Pedigree View + + +
+ Pedigree View + + + Shows Pedigree View. +
+ + + 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 + 1 to his/her parents 2, + to grandparents 3, to great-grandparents + 4. + Each person is denoted by a white 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 changes color 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. + + The left-hand side of the window shows the left arrow button. + 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 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.

If you would like to continue editing data of + a newly merged person, click the Merge and edit + button. + + + + + + + Navigation + As long as any database is open, &app; is focused on a + single person usually referred to as an Active person. This + allows you to view or modify the data concerning this person, + his or her immediate family, etc. Navigating in the database (i.e. + moving from person to person) is in fact nothing else but changing + the Active person. This section describes many alternative ways + to navigate through the database using both the complex and the + convenient interfaces &app; provides. All these ways eventually + accomplish the same thing, but some are more convenient than others, + depending what you are doing in &app; at the moment. + + + + Using the People View + The most intuitive way to select an active person is + to use the People View (see ). + When in the People View, just select the + name of the desired person from the list by clicking that list + entry. The person you have selected becomes active. The statusbar + updates to reflect the change of the active person. + + + + + Using the Family View + When in the Family View (see ), + you can easily navigate between the members of the displayed family + as follows: + + + To make the currently selected spouse the active person, + click the double-arrow button to the right of the active person box. + Alternatively, right-click into the spouse box and select + Make the selected spouse an active person item + from the context menu. + + + To make the currently selected parents the active family + (thereby making father the active person and mother the selected + spouse), click the right-arrow button to the right of the active person's + parents box. Alternatively, right-click into the active person's parents + box and select + Make the selected parents the active family item + from the context menu. + + + To make the currently selected spouse's parents + the active family (thereby making father the active person and mother + the selected spouse), click the right-arrow button to the right of the + spouse's parents box. Alternatively, right-click into the spouse's parents + box and select + Make the selected parents the active family item + from the context menu. + + To make the currently selected child the active person, + click the left-arrow button to the right of the children box. + Alternatively, right-click into the children box and select + Make the selected child an active person item + from the context menu. + + + + + + + + Using the Pedigree View + The Pedigree View (see ) also + allows you to move along the family tree. + The benefit of this method is that you can see more than one + generation of the family tree. Also, you can jump directly from a + great-grandson to a great-grandfather without going through the + intermediate generations. + + Note that after changing the active person in the Pedigree + View, the display is re-adjusted to show four generations, starting + from the newly selected Active person. When in the Pedigree View, you + can easily navigate between the members of the displayed family tree + as follows: + + + To make any displayed person the active person, + double-click the line that connects to the left side of the + corresponding box. + + To make a child of the currently active person (if any) + the active person, click the left arrow button to the left of the + corresponding box. If there is more than one child, the button expands + to the menu listing the children to choose from. + + To move the whole family tree one generation back, + click on the corresponding right arrow button on the right-hand side + of the display area. Clicking the upper button will move the tree + along the paternal line. Clicking the lower button will move the + tree along the maternal line. + + Clicking either of these buttons is completely equivalent to + double-clicking the lines connecting to the left of the corresponding + boxes for father and mother. + + + + + + + Setting the Home Person + One and only one person in the database can be selected as the + Home person. Once the Home person is selected, moving to that + person becomes a matter of a single click, regardless of which view + you are using at the moment. + + To set the Home person, first navigate to that person using + any method you like. Then choose + Settings + Home Person. Once this is + done, you can move to the Home person from anywhere in the + database by simply clicking the Home icon + on the toolbar. You can also choose Go + Home from the menu or select + Home item from any context menu available on the + right click. + + + + + + + + Using history-based tools + &app; also features a powerful set of history-based navigation + tools. These tools are similar to those commonly used in web browsers. + They include Back and Forward + items available from the Go + menu, context menus, and the toolbar buttons. They also include the + Go + History menu which lists + the recent selections and allows to jump directly to any of them. + Finally, right-clicking on the Back + and Forward toolbar buttons invokes the + popup menu with corresponding portion of the history. Select any item + from the menu to jump directly to it. + + + + + + Bookmarking People + Similar to setting the Home person, you can bookmark other + people from the database to simplify further navigation. To bookmark + a person, first navigate to that person, then choose + Bookmarks + Add bookmark. To move to that + person from anywhere in the database, choose + Bookmarks + Go to bookmark + Person's name + . + + You can manage your bookmarks by choosing + Bookmarks + Edit bookmarks.... This opens + the following Edit Bookmarks dialog with the + list of bookmarks and the controls to modify this list. + + +
+ Edit Bookmarks dialog + + + Shows Edit Bookmarks dialog. +
+ + + + + + + Finding People + To find a person in a database, choose + EditFind... + when in the People View, Family View, or Pedigree View. This opens a + Find Person dialog which can be used for searching + forward and backward. + + If the search is successful, the found person becomes an active + person and the display adjusts according to the new active person and the + current view. + + + + + Finding Sources + To find a source in a database, choose + EditFind... + when in the Sources View. This opens a Find Source + dialog which can be used for searching forward and backward. If the + search is successful, the found source becomes highlighted. + + + + + Finding Places + To find a place in a database, choose + EditFind... + when in the Places View. This opens a Find Place + dialog which can be used for searching forward and backward. If the + search is successful, the found place becomes highlighted. + + + + + Finding Media Objects + To find a media object in a database, choose + EditFind... + when in the Media View. This opens a Find Media Objects + dialog which can be used for searching forward and backward. If the + search is successful, the found media object becomes highlighted. + + + + + + + Generating Reports + Reports are the most common form of the output produced by + genealogical research. The majority of genealogical software puts a lot + of emphasis on developing nicely looking reports. &app; is no + exception in this regard: it offers a choice of a variety of reports. + &app; can generate reports in a multitude of open formats, both + text based and graphical. &app; can also produce screen based reports + that are convenient for viewing a summary of your database. + Finally, &app; can generate a web site suitable for immediate + posting on the Internet. All these are almost infinitely flexible: + if you wish to modify or extend the default format of &app; report + you can design and choose the style for each of your reports. + + All reports can be accessed through the menu by choosing + Reports + Report Type + Particular + Report. Alternatively, + you can browse the complete selection of available reports along + with their brief descriptions in a Report + Selection dialog evoked by clicking the + Reports icon on the toolbar. + + + + + + Graphical Reports + Graphical reports represent information in forms of charts + and graphs. Most of the options are common among graphical reports, + therefore they will be described only once, at the end of this + section. The few options which are specific to a given report will be + described directly in that report's entry. + + The following graphical reports are currently + available in &app;: + + + + Ancestor Chart + This report generates the chart of people who are + ancestors of the Active person. Specific options include + the number of generations considered and the format of the displayed + entries. + + + Descendant Graph + This report generates a graph of people who are + descendants of the Active person. Specific options include + the format of the displayed entries. + + + Relationship Graph + This report creates a complex relationship graph in + GraphViz format. The GraphViz dot tool can + transform the graph into postscript, jpeg, png, vrml, svg, and many + other formats. GraphViz tools are freely available from the + GraphViz + site. Specific options for this report + include filter and number of generations considered, as well as + several GraphViz-specific options related to pagination, color, + and details of the graph. + + + Timeline Graph + This report outputs the list of people with their + lifetimes represented by intervals on a common chronological scale. + Specific options include filter, sorting method, and the title of + the report. + + + + + Common options for graphical reports are the filename of the + output, the format of the output, selected style, page size and + orientation. + + + + + + Text Reports + Text reports represent the desired information as formatted + text. Most of the options are common among text reports, + therefore they will be described only once, at the end of this + section. The options which are specific to a given report will be + described directly in that report's entry. + + The following text reports are currently + available in &app;: + + + + Ahnentafel Report + This report lists the active person and his or her + ancestors along with their vital data. The people are numbered in a + special way which is an established standard called Ahnentafel. + The active person is given number 1. His or her father and mother + have numbers 2 and 3, respectively. This rule holds for every person + while going back in generations: father's parents are numbered 4 and 5, + and mother's parents are numbered 6 and 7, fathers always numbered + with even and mothers with odd numbers. Therefore, for any person + having number N in this tree, the numbers of father and mother + are 2N and 2N+1, respectively. + + + + Comprehensive Ancestors Report + This report produces a comprehensive description + of ancestors of the active person. The highlights of this report + include elaborate layout, images of children, present and former + spouses, and source citations. Specific options: number + of backward generations to consider, whether to cite sources, + and whether to break pages between generations. + + + Complete Individual Report + This report provides individual summaries similar to + that of the Individual Summary report. The advantage of this report + is the specific filter option. Depending on the filter choice (active + person only, his or her descendants, his or her ancestors, or entire + database), the report may contain from one to many individual + summaries. Another option for this report is the inclusion of + source information when listing events. + + + Descendant Report + This report produces a brief description + of descendants of the active person. Specific options: number + of forward generations to consider. + + + Detailed Ancestral Report + This report covers in detail the ancestors of the + active person.

Specific + options: the spouse (available only if the active person has more + than one spouse). + + + Individual Summary + This report produces a detailed summary on the + active person. The report includes all the facts known to the + database about that person. + + + + + Common options for text reports are the filename of the + output, the format of the output, selected style, page size and + orientation. For HTML reports, there is no page information. + Instead, HTML options include the choice of the HTML template, + either available in &app; or a custom template defined by you. + + + + + + Books + Currently, the only available report under this category + is the Book Report. + + The Book Report creates a single document (i.e. a Book) + containing a collection of graphical and textual reports. + Consequently, this allows for a very rich set of documents + that &app; can produce. + + + When Book Report is selected, the following book configuration + dialog appears: + + +
+ Book Report dialog + + + Shows Book Report dialog. +
+ + + The Book name text entry field is used to + save the book (a set of configured selections) for future use. + The pane on the left-hand side lists the items available for inclusion in the + book. The pane on the right-hand side lists the currently selected items in + the order they will appear in the book. + + The top set of buttons between the panes operates on the + selected book item. Click the Add button to add selected + item from the available list to the current book. Click the + Remove button to remove an item from the current book. + Use Up and Down to change + the items order in the current book. Click the Setup + button to configure the options of the selected item of the current book. + + + The bottom set of buttons between the panes operates on the + whole book. Click the Clear button to clear all items from + the current book. Click the Save button to save the current + book (under the name typed in the Book name text + entry field) for future use. Note that saving the book also saves the + configuration for each item. Click the Open button to load + the book from the list of previously saved books. Finally, click the + Edit books button to evoke the editable list of + available books. + + + The configuration dialogs evoked by Setup + are item-specific. If you choose not to configure the item, sane + defaults will be used for all needed options. The common option for + almost all book items is the center person: the person on whom the + item is centered. Thanks to this option, you can create a book with + items centered on different people (e.g. your mom's and dad's + ancestors as separate chapters). By default, the center person is set to + the active person. + + Almost all items available for inclusion in the book are textual + or graphical reports, and are therefore available in the form of standalone + reports. The exception is the following items which are only available as + book items: + + + + Title Page + This item produces a customized Title page. You can + configure the text of title, subtitle, and the footer of the page. + An image can be optionally placed between the subtitle and the footer. + Because of its configurability, this item can be used to create + title pages for the whole book, its chapter, or even a single item. + + + + + Custom Text + This item produces a page with three paragraphs, each + containing custom text. The appearance of the text can be adjusted by + using custom styles. This item was meant to be used for epigraphs, + dedications, explanations, notes, and so forth. + + + + + + + + + + View Reports + View reports represent overall summaries of the database + information available immediately for on-screen viewing. + The following view reports are currently available in &app;: + + + + Number of ancestors + This report displays the number of ancestors of the + active person. + + + Summary of the database + This report displays the overall statistics concerning + number of individuals of each gender, various incomplete entries + statistics, as well as family and media statistics. + + + + + + + + Web Page + + This report generates web pages, either for a selected + individual (active person) or a set of individuals. The options + for this report are broken down into contents, privacy, and advanced + options. The contents options include the filter (determine the + scope of the database to consider), + destination directory for the images, an optional short ancestor tree, + and a link to the index page. + Privacy options allow you to omit private records, restrict + information on living people, skip images (either all or only + those of living people), and omit comments and text in source + information. Finally, the advanced options allow you to include + the optional &app; ID, create a GENDEX index, and specify the + extension of the resulting files. + + + + + + + + Running Tools + &app; tools allow you to perform various types of analyses + of your genealogical data. Typically, the tools do not produce + output in form of printouts or files. Instead, they produce screen + output immediately available for the researcher. However, when + appropriate, you can save the results of running a tool into a file. + Tools present one of the major strengths of &app; compared to the most + genealogical software. + + The tools can be accessed through the menu by choosing + Tools + Tool Section + Particular + Tool. Alternatively, + you can browse the complete selection of available tools along + with their brief descriptions in a Tool + Selection dialog evoked by clicking the + Tools icon on the toolbar. + + + + Analysis and Exploration + This section contains tools which analyze and explore the + database, but do not alter it. The following analysis and exploration + tools are currently available in &app;: + + + + Compare individual events + This tool compares events across the selected group of + people. The people for this comparison are chosen with the use of + custom filters. The custom filters can be created in the Custom Filter + Editor (see ). The resulting table produced + by this tool can be saved as a spreadsheet. + + + Interactive descendant browser + This tool builds a tree with the active person being + the root. Children branch from their parents in the usual manner. + Use this tool for a quick glance of a person's descendants. + + + + + + + + + Database Processing + This section contains tools which may modify your database. + The modifications will only be performed upon your explicit consent. + The tools from this section are used mostly for finding and correcting + errors in the data. The following database processing tools are + currently available in &app;: + + + + Check and repair database + This tool checks the database for integrity problems, + fixing the problems it can. Specifically, the tool is checking for: + + Broken family links. These are the cases when + a person's record refers to a family while the family's record + does not refer to that person, and vice versa. + + + Missing media objects. The missing media + object is the object whose file is referenced in the database + but does not exist. This can happen when the file is + accidentally deleted, renamed, or moved to another location. + + + Empty families. These are the family entries + which have no reference to any person as their member. + + + Parent relationship. This checks all families + to ensure that father and mother are not mixed up. The check + is also made that parents have different gender. If they have + common gender then their relationship is renamed to "Partners". + + + + + + + Extract information from names + This tool searches the entire database and attempts + to extract titles and nicknames that may be embedded in a person's + Given name field. + + + + Find possible duplicate people + This tool searches the entire database, looking + for the entries that may represent the same person. + + + + Rename personal event types + This tool allows all the events of a certain name + to be renamed to a new name. + + + + Reorder &app; IDs + This tool reorders the &app; IDs according to the + defaults of &app;. + + + + + + + + + + Utilities + + + This section contains tools allowing you to perform a simple + operation on a portion of data. The results can be saved in your + database, but they will not modify your existing data. + The following utilities are currently available in &app;: + + + + Custom Filter Editor + The Custom Filter Editor builds custom filters + that can be used to select people included in reports, exports, + and other tools and utilities. This is in fact a very powerful tool + in genealogical analysis. + + When you launch it, the User defined filters + dialog appears that lists all the filters (if any) previously defined + by you. Click the Add... button to define a new filter. + Once you have designed your filters, you can edit, test, and delete + selected filters using the Edit..., + Test..., and Delete... + buttons, respectively. All the filters displayed in the list will be + automatically saved along with your database and will be available + with subsequent sessions of &app;. + + Clicking the Add... button invokes the + following Define filter dialog: + + +
+ Define filter dialog + + + Shows Define filter dialog. +
+ + + Type the name for your new filter into the + Name field. Enter any comment that would help you + identify this filter in the future into the Comment + field. Add as many rules to the Rule list as you + would like to your filter using Add... button. + Check Return values that do not match the filter rules + (invert) to negate the filter rule (e.g. inverting "has a + common ancestor with I1" rule will match everyone who does not have a + common ancestor with that person). If the filter has more than one rule, + select one of the Rule operations. This allows you + to choose whether all rules must apply, only one (either) rule must + apply, or exactly one (either) rule must apply, in order for the filter + to generate a match. If your filter has only one rule, this selection + has no effect. + + Clicking the Add... button invokes the + following Add Rule dialog: + + +
+ Add Rule dialog + + + Shows Add Rule dialog. +
+ + + The pane on the left-hand side displays available filter rules + arranged by their categories in an expandable tree. For detailed filter + rule reference, see . Click on the + arrows to fold/unfold the appropriate category. Select the rule + from the tree by clicking on its name. The right-hand side displays + the name, the description, and the values for the currently selected + rule. Once you are satisfied with your rule selection and its values, + click OK to add this rule to the rule list + of the currently edited filter. Clicking Cancel + will abort adding the rule to the filter. + + Note that a filter you've already designed may be used as a rule + for another filter. This gives you nearly infinite flexibility in + custom-tailoring your selection criteria that can be later used in + most of the exports, reports and some of the tools (such as comparing + individual events). + + + Generate SoundEx codes + This utility generates SoundEx codes for the names of + people in the database. Please visit the NARA Soundex Indexing page to learn more about + Soudex Indexing System. + + + + Relationship calculator + This utility calculates the relationship between + two people from the database. + + + + Verify the database + This utility allows you to verify the database based + on the set of criteria specified by you. This tool is different from + the previously described Check tool in the following. The Check tool + detects inconsistencies in the database structure. The Verify tool, + however, is detecting the records that do not satisfy your particular + criteria. + + For example, you may want to make sure that nobody in your + database had children at the age of 98. Based on common sense, such + a record would indicate an error. However, it is not a consistency + error in the database. Besides, someone might have a child at the of + 98 (albeit this rarely happens). The Verify tool will display + everything that violates your criteria so that you can check whether + the record is erroneous or not. The ultimate decision is yours. + + + + + + + + + + diff --git a/gramps2/src/po/ru.po b/gramps2/src/po/ru.po index a13e25c56..61302c499 100644 --- a/gramps2/src/po/ru.po +++ b/gramps2/src/po/ru.po @@
