Re: [Gramps-devel] filters in 2.1/2.2 branch

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

After over a month of pondering on this, it seems that we

filter for matching a personal event. But one can also filter
people on the family event by using custom filters.
Let's keep things as they are, and just document it clearly.
