Re: [Gramps-devel] [Gramps-users] Handling of "Preferences - Display - name format"(#2438)

[Helge@GRAMPS <Hel...@we...>]

Hi, 

thank you for starting the discussion.
I would like to add an idea (may be, because of my limited knowing of Gramps
I'm wrong):
So far I understood the using of the user defined 'name formats' they are
used to control the style of the representation of data on the display or
within report outputs (likewise a css file?). So, why these information are
placed within the main database file? Why should I have within several
archive files several name formats? 

I always would prefer to separate the storage places of all settings and
style definitions (e.g. user defined name format) from the (pure) main data.
So, for my option the user defined 'name format' - as an individual setting
- should be placed outside any main database file (e. g. the gramps-xml or
any archive file). May be, the key.ini is a fine place for all these
settings and style informations. 

But finally, I know it's also a question of the general concept. And
switching these part of an application in a later state some time couldn't
work.
