Re: [Gramps-devel] [Gramps-users] Filter Question

[Gerald B. <ger...@gm...>]

I restarted gramps but only a few filters show up in the drop down.  I
have two person filters but they don't show up there.  In the dropdown
my choices are "Entire database", Ancestors of <current person>,
Descendants of <current person>, People with common ancestry of
<current person>

As it is, this means that I cannot export a portion of the database,
based on filters.

A second concern is that in 2.0.11 there was only really a person
filter.  If you export to gedcom using it, you don't get all places,
events etc. but those that match the filtered people (at least that's
how it looks to me).  With 2.1.195, I'm concerned that I will have to
build filters for every object type then apply them all to restrict my
database.  Is this true?
What about a person filter option that says "apply this filter to all
other objects"?
