Re: [Gramps-devel] Filters on Exporter (trunk)

[Jérôme <rom...@ya...>]

Benny,


Currently, I just tried to filter this manually !!!

I just added MatchesxxxFilter modules missing on directories (modules 
which already exist on other object rules), called/added references on 
_init_ root module. (classname, handle) ; db.find_backlink_handles 
should be the same code for all objects maybe except note which is not a 
primary.

> Filterproxy database allows probably only a person filter.

That's logical !
Maybe we might filter more related data :

1. Current filter on persons (will keep only related family - hidden for 
user)
2. Matches events related to filtered persons; sources/places/media to 
filtered persons
3. Matches sources/places/media to filtered events (2.)
4. Matches repositories to filtered sources (1.) (3.)

> It probably is a problem of design too

True, what could be done with this multiples custom filter ????

I remember that Gramps used something like generic filter on report.
I tried to find a way by adding this type on generic filter (Matchesxxx 
filter+Matchesxxx filter+Matchesxxx filter ...etc...)
"If this follow one of this rules, then keep the data"

Maybe this should be written on code as filter related to people used by 
current export and Filterproxy database.

Feature request ?
