Re: [Gramps-users] gramps AIO crashes when importing a gpkg

[doug <do...@o2...>]

Thanks Eckhard and Jesse,
The fault does seem to be subfolders in gpkg.media. Doing a 
.gramps import creates no problems.
It's not clear to me how to change the "/" Linux 
subdirectory pathnames to "\" Windows ones.
Where do you do it, in Linux or Windows? And how?
