You need something that generates a warning.
Eg, in gui/editors/editfamily.py, edit it and add  a warning:

    def __init__(self, dbstate, uistate, track, family):
        log.warn("Warning, you are editing a family")

Now start Gramps, edit a family, and you will see the button.
You should do a feature request for a menuentry to see all warnings.

You can mimick this. Add the file
need_recover
to a database directory (so inone of the dir you see with gramps -l ). The
file need not have content.

On next start of Gramps you will see the the button. Do with test database,
then you can click the button and see what happens. Note that the dir must
have .gbkp files in it, so there has to have been a previous start of
Gramps with a succesfull save of gramps

Try some of these:

At the same time you can submit bug tickets if problems :-D
Some are in ANSEL, so you can take a screenshot of the ANSEL 'are you sure'
question box also

click the 'list icon' in the interface. The  look depends on your installed
icon theme. The button is normally after the plus button Careful, people
will not see what you see. Try to use a theme for your screenshots that is
not too strange and has a list icon that looks a bit like a list.

Create a family with two parents that are already in another family. Use
above selection buttons to select the parents.
Please add to the wiki the new feature: drag and drop on the family editor
of a parents makes that person father or mother (depending on where you

When adding a new media object, that is the editor you receive. So on an
existing person, go to gallery tab at bottom, click the + to add a media
object

Open several dialogs (a person, one of his media, a family, a report), then
go in window menu, and take screenshot. You will have to set your
screenshot program to: take screenshot over 5 sec, then you have 5 seconds
to open the menu and to take that screenshot. I use kscreenshot, so I can
immediately take a screenshot of a region of the screen, you should have
that option also

This works for me. So in the person bottombar, add the gramplet Attributes.
Then go to person with attributes, and dubbleclick on an attribute
With example.gramps, you can use Garner von ..., Lewis

This was done by somebody with his own data. So you need a good valid
gedcom for that, or somebodies tree.

Open example.gramps, go to person view, with Configure toolbutton, set
columns you want to export. Now in Family Trees menu, select 'Export View
..."

Give the file name in file selector, and set format at the bottom to
opendocument spreadsheet.
Open the created file with an opendocument viewer/editor. Eg LibreOffice,
Calligra, OpenOffice, ... . The spreadsheet component will open like in the
screenshot.
As those 3 are open source programs, it is no problem to add html links to
their websites so a user can download them if they want.
