[Gramps-devel] GeoView ideas

[Duncan L. <dun...@gm...>]

I've just made RFE http://www.gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=3235
"Several dialogs in GRAMPS would be more usful if we could jump
directly to GeoView from them. Certainly the 'Places' dialog, but I
think also the 'Person' dialog. At the moment it's not very intuitive
working out how to launch a specific place in GeoView."

Another idea I have is that the look and feel of the GeoView needs a
bit of help to fit with the rest of GRAMPS. For a start the map needs
a border of some sort, it just floats now and any white areas dissolve
into the surrounding background.

On a more practical note it would be good if GeoView had a list of the
shown locations on the screen so I can see what places are shown and
why. This could also be used to select a location from the list and
jump to it in the view. This would be especially useful where the
locations are a long way from each other and can't easily be seen all
at once.

Also, the tool tip for each place has the name of that place. Could we
add in brackets the event connected with that place?

Just some thoughts, Duncan
