Hello everybody I began using Gramps last year on version 3.2.4. Today I would like to continus my works on gramps. First, I would like to install the lastest version for Windows XP I read in the documentation there are a 3.3.1 Portable and a 3.3.1-2 AIO. My first question is : what are the differents between these both package? the Portable version is it a full version? What are his limit? Secondly, Is it possible to upgrade my old version 3.2.4 to the lastest version (portable or AIO)? I read that to upgrade my gramps I must export my database in XML export, uninstall my old gramps, install the new version and import my XML. Is there a full compatibility between the XML export 3.2.4 and the XML import 3.3.1? Thanks in advance for you answer. Mickaël |

Both versions work. Many find AIO easier, as it installs everything. I am not aware of limitations (apart from some optional plugins only working on linux).

What are his limit? I advise you to use the "AIO" ("all-in-one") Windows version. One reason is that it is supported by an official gramps developer (and the other one isn't, and I have seen users complain about it). The other reason is that it is called "all in one" because it has all the related non-gramps programs which gramps uses (such as GraphViz to make a certain kind of report, and something to do with maps also), packages up with the gramps. > Secondly, Is it possible to upgrade my old version 3.2.4 to the lastest > version (portable or AIO)?

Yes, that is the recommended way to upgrade. It is known to work. Export your data on your 3.2.4 machine, carefully choosing one of the two XML formats (depending on whether you want to put in media too, if I recall correctly). Also, make sure to not "restrict" that saving-away (which gramps calls "export"). That is, make sure the boxes for things like "include living people" and "include private information" (or whatever words those boxes have, I don't remember exactly), make sure they are set to include all of your data, even on living people and "private" information. |
