yes, there was an issue on most primary editors: to open the editor twice (or more) will commit two differents records... So it only keeps one 'active' editor. --- En date de : Mer 2.2.11, Benny Malengier <ben...@gm...> a écrit : De: Benny Malengier <ben...@gm...> Objet: Re: [Gramps-users] Difficulty editing source references À: "David Lynch" <dav...@bl...> Cc: gra...@li...

I want to access a facility to edit the source reference *via* the source, not *simulteously with* the source. This surely could be achieved by making the parent (source) window inactive while the child (source reference) window is in focus. Nice use-case. Indeed not supported. It would require some redesign in the general window handling code to support this. Making it inactive is not sufficient, after save of the source reference, the source editor open must also be checked against the new version of the source. If something changed, the source editor must automatically update itself to reflect it. Then a choice must be made: if there is a local not yet changed entry in the source editor, do we keep it, or do we discard it? As we don't want to solve this last question automatically for the user, it is disallowed to open a source reference of an open source. Solution to me seems: when a source reference is opened of a source that is open, lock the bottom part of the source reference editor as inactive, so the source cannot be changed from that source reference. If you agree, make a feature request for this change. It should be a matter of setting a flag.
