All, One of the new features I'm quite familiar with in GRAMPS 3.1.0 is the image reference regions. Those of you also on the gramps-devel mailing list are probably already familiar with this as I've e-mailed the instructions before. But now that 3.1.0 has been officially released, I wanted to let all gramps-users know how it works. It isn't super-obvious for first-time users, but luckily it is very easy to do. To see what it looks like, take a look at this web page and move the mouse over the image to see what "reference regions" are all about: http://charette.no-ip.com:1234/Charette/img/2/9/b23feda1bd9184a2a5e18362492.html If you use NarrativeWeb and GRAMPS 3.1.0, this is achieved by following the few steps in this How-To: http://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_create_image_reference_regions Once you have reference regions defined, generate the NarrativeWeb pages, and you should have the regions in your images. Enjoy! Stéphane |

The only thing that would be an improvement I think is some ability to enlarge the preview for defining the reference regions. The preview image is *very* small, making it quite tricky to define regions when there are many people in the image. Viewing the image enlarged alongside helps but doesn't really solve the problem. Is that possible? Doug |

I don't know if there's any more direct way, but I added the group photo to the Gallery of each member of the group in turn and set his reference region there (i.e. for Edmond, attach photo, set reference region; for wife, attach photo, set her region, etc.). This automatically sets the name. I also attached the photo to the marriage (i.e. Edmond and wife, where the children are listed). The appropriate name then appears when you hover over a particular region, wherever you've put the photo.

The names get added automatically in the NarrativeWeb output based on the reference regions you created. So in the example taken from the wiki page linked above, you'll note the first image shows that I'm editing a person named Fernando aka Edmond. This is why in the last image, which shows the NarrativeWeb output, the reference region I created shows up as "Edmond". The name is automatically taken from the person object. You don't get to specify what name or label to use. Stéphane |

I tried the process required to create reference areas for a pic or photo, and it is simple and easy, and I was able, based on the instructions (and a little guidance) to add reference areas to several photos in my GRAMPS repository. I did, however, find a glitch (not the software, my logic) for which I need some additional guidance. When I viewed several of the photos I for which I created reference areas, the labels (text) displayed were not the names of the individuals, but comments extracted from an event. Would someone tell me how the text/comment data is associated with the reference area is linked, and from where the data is extracted? Should the data link not be to the indiviual (or place), or is it linked with a choice of data fields from the database?

When GRAMPS creates the NarrativeWeb gallery pages, this is how it selects what "name" to use: - if the image is for a person: -> get the "call name" for that person -> if the person has no call name, get their first name - if the image is for an event: -> get the "description" field The problem with the event, is it can be shared between many people. It isn't obvious which person/text to use. Stéphane |

Merci - Thanks for the explanation, Stephane, it was indeed helpful, and it solves my present issue, but let me suggest that we provide a means of inputting custom data into the reference area, i.e., when creating reference area, we should provide a picl list from data labels, like first name, complete name, or custom label - there are photos in which we may desire lables for people or things we want to define by a reference area in a photo. It is simplest to retrieve a name or an event, but perhaps we need to customize or shorten the reference area label.

Do I understand correctly, that the label with the name of a person is also displayed in a tooltip directly in gramps (meaning without generating the NarrativeWeb pages)??? If so, I can't seem to find where this should be possible in 3.1.1. Or do you refer only to the definition of the reference regions by saying that "this should all work in gramps itself"? If that is the case, it would certainly be also great feature directly inside gramps to see, when looking at an image, who is who, without first having to generate a NarrativeWeb page. MfG Tobias |
