Re: [Gramps-users] Loss of Event References

[Philip W. <wei...@gm...>]

I ran into that and am not sure what caused it. Supposedly one of the
repair options on the Tools menu fixes it, but none of them did for me.

Two options that did work:

   - Opening an event and making any edit to it, then saving.  That rebuilt
   the references for that event.
   - Exporting the database as Gramps XML (I omitted media), then importing
   it into a new tree.  The new tree had event references.  I then deleted the
   old tree and renamed the new one with the old name and everything was hunky
   dory.  The media paths still referenced the same directory, so media didn't
   get screwed up.
