Hi Don, I've just downloaded and fired up version 2.0.0 of Gramps and I've got some initial minor comments: So far, I've seen the following messages on the console when I started up Gramps, without doing anything except acknowledging the initial welcome dialog. > gramps Date parser for None not available, using default Date displayer for None not available, using default Successfully imported preferences from the 1.0.x version. /usr/share/gramps/DbPrompter.py:185: GtkWarning: gtk_file_system_unix_get_folder: assertion `g_path_is_absolute (filename)' failed choose.set_current_folder(default_dir) The one about "Date parser for None not ..." is a bit confusing. Shouldn't these messages be coming up in a status window or pane in the main gramps window? If someone starts it up from the GUI, they won't see this message at all. I don't know if the DbPrompter.py:185 line means anything, I'll let you know if it crashes or not. It could be that the debian package doesn't have the correct dependencies. Edit Person: - when entering a date in the birth field, it would make sense if hitting Tab brought you to the Birth Place: field, instead of to the Death Date: field. I don't know if this is a simple glade change or not... - Would it make sense to have a "plus" icon for adding a new child and relationship to a person? Thanks to the tool tips, it's obvious which one to use, but not visually, especially since there is a 'minus' icon for deleting people. - Can the 'minus' icon be grayed out when no child is selected? It works properly by not doing anything when it's hit and you don't have a child selected. Actually, this could be extended to all the buttons on the page which aren't usable until you select someone. - We've probably gone through this before, but would it be easier to navigate around if when you clicked on any person in the edit view, they became the selected person. Then you wouldn't need the up/down arrows to move people around. Adding in a releation ship box between the active person and the spouse/partner/live in person would then be easily done. Just a thougth... More comments when I get a chance to dive into this more. John |
