Re: [Gramps-devel] report menu options...

[Rob H. <rob...@gm...>]

Dear Doug and Brian:

First of all, thank you so much for the quick responses...

Ok, I understand that making an option disappear is a bad idea!  I will not
even try to hide it then.  I am using set_available() functionality
already...

Doug:
Do you have anything working yet for the NarrativeWeb break- up?

All that I am working on in NarrativeWeb is the Place Maps that Jerome
Rapinet and I are working on...

Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey
