Fwd: Re: [Gramps-devel] Alternate Family View thoughts [john@stoffel.org]

[Alex R. <sh...@al...>]

John has raised an important point regarding the default active person
when no active person is selected (the database without home person=20
just after having been loaded or any database imported from GEDCOM).=20
I'm forwarding this to the list. This same problem causes the bug 793127.=
=20

My personal vote would go for the person with the alphabetically first
and non-empty last name.=20
