Re: [Gramps-users] Gramps Filter options?

[Nick H. <nic...@ho...>]

Chris,

I'm not quite sure if your note is attached to a source or an event 
reference.

If your note is a source note, the references tab will show the source 
that it is attached to.  Other objects, such as events, can use this 
source but the note will only be directly attached to the source.

If your note is an event reference note, the references tab will show 
the person that it is attached to.  The person is the primary object 
that contains the event reference.  In this case, you will have to edit 
each event for the person to find the event reference.  I don't think 
that there is an easier way to find the correct event.

Entering a Note ID into the ID field of the person filter will not 
return any records, hence the "Active object not visible" message.  The 
view will then return to the active person.  I think that you were just 
lucky that this was the person you were interested in.

You are correct that it is easier to find notes attached to primary objects.

It could be that we need a couple of extra event filters:

"Events with event references having a note ID of <Note ID>"
"Events with event references having an attribute of <attribute key>"

Is this the problem you were having, or have I misunderstood your question?

Regards,


Nick.
