Re: [Gramps-devel] Re : May Check and Repair tool ask user to backup and import his data?

[doug <do...@o2...>]

Hi,

I'd be unhappy to see the patch taken as a full resolution 
of this and related bugs just yet.
Some sorts of editing need the database to be exported as 
csv (or xml) for editing and re-imported back onto the 
original: I've not been able so far to be sure if merging 
always takes place perfectly or if it leaves duplicates 
remain that need identifying.

For this case, requiring the import to create a new family 
tree wouldn't be helpful.
