Re: [Gramps-users] Media gramps_id question

[Bob S. <st...@ve...>]

Thanks Benny. You are right, I do remember running Reorder Gramps IDs and the preference apparently now defaults to O%04d. I guess the pref was M%04d when I did the gedcom import a few weeks ago with 3.4.4. I changed to M%05d and all appears well. I could find nothing relative in the docs.

You can change the format of Media IDs yourself under Preferences =>

I don't believe so. Perhaps it will do something if an ID occurs twice, but otherwise it should not.

I assume the original poster ran "Reorder Gramps ID" which will give all objects a new ID according to the given preference setting.
