Hi, I just took the first look on Gramps 2.0.0 and I really like it. Especially the possibility to add/remove columns in the persons view and in the children list. And the possibility to choose witnesses out of the persons in the database. But I have some remarks: - People are not properly ordered in the persons view - or I can't see the ordering. I would expect them to be ordered by first name - but they aren't. Additionally, I can't see how to choose the column by which the entries should be ordered. - In the Family View I don't want to see the Gramps-IDs after the name. Where can I turn that off? - Because I imported, a long time ago, my data from PAF, most of the couples have an family-event "_UID". I want to delete all this events. How could I do that? I tried to create a filter, but it didn't give me any matches. Any suggestions? Another question: I can now include witnesses for events. But I can't see for a person a list of the events where he is/was witness, right? Something like an automaticly generated event "Witness". Thank you, Michelle |

Try running gramps from the command line with: LANG="en_GB" gramps You will need to change "en_GB" to reflect your own locale. Look in /usr/share/locale for possible values.

As was mentioned earlier, GRAMPS is now using a sort function determined by your locale. So if your locale is fr_FR, you are sorting by French rules, not English rules. The downside of this is that you need to have a locale set. Most systems will do this for you. You can run the "locale" program to see what is set for you. On my system, I get: [dona@shaun ~]$ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= Sorting is being slowly added back in. 2.0.1 will have sorting for Sources, Places, and Media objects restored. One of the advantages of our new infrastructure for 2.0 means we can hold a lot more data. One of the draw backs is we have to write our own sorting functions. One of the big questions for the Person View is: What does sorting mean in a tree view when you choose to sort by birth date? > - In the Family View I don't want to see the Gramps-IDs after the name. > Where can I turn that off? We will be addressing some of this in the 2.1/2.2 release. We are going through some major clean up of the different dialogs, including the Edit Person and Family Views. > - Because I imported, a long time ago, my data from PAF, most of the > couples have an family-event "_UID".

I might be able to send you something in a couple of days. If you don't hear back from me, send me a reminder. > > Another question: I can now include witnesses for events.

Again, a lot of this will change with 2.1/2.2 where we add shared events. > Thank you, > Michelle > Don -- Don Allingham <don...@co...> |

Hi Don and Richard, thank you for the answer, this is what I get from locale: LANG=de_DE@euro LC_CTYPE="de_DE@euro" LC_NUMERIC="de_DE@euro" LC_TIME="de_DE@euro" LC_COLLATE="de_DE@euro" LC_MONETARY="de_DE@euro" LC_MESSAGES="de_DE@euro" LC_PAPER="de_DE@euro" LC_NAME="de_DE@euro" LC_ADDRESS="de_DE@euro" LC_TELEPHONE="de_DE@euro" LC_MEASUREMENT="de_DE@euro" LC_IDENTIFICATION="de_DE@euro" LC_ALL= Does this help you? But the names are not ordered like they should be in german. Thanks, Michelle |

Can you try setting your locale to de_DE.UTF8? I'm not familiar with the de_DE@euro notation. Its possible that python does not understand this notation.
