Re: [Gramps-users] Citations: Is there a way to mass-edit "confidence"?

Thank you for the reply, Brian,

After already trying out editing QUAY values in the GEDCOM export from my
swedish program (which didn't fully work, as Gramps doesn't follow the QUAY
standard with 4 values, and therefore I couldn't achieve the confidence
value NORMAL), I'm now going to try your approach. It seems less daunting to
edit GEDCOM-files than to edit Gramps backup files.

[quote]You could inspect them now to see the differenced. But instead, try
importing each into the Swedish program and see if the changed data is
carried through. And, if so, see if they expect it to be in a different
place than you've been using. 

This will help in a number of ways. You can quickly correct a user
methodology problem.

If it is a GEDcom import/e port compatibility problem, it points to which
side the issue falls so a bug report can bee filed with the right team. And
you might be able to do a couple simple Find&Replace operations on the
GEDcom before importing into Gramps ... after identifying the
differences.[/quote]

I would say that a huge part of the problem is within the swedish program I
am using. Min Släkt http://www.dannbergsdata.se/ is extremely user-friendly
and has (IMO of course) a superb Graphics overview. However, when it comes
to storing sources, the program is limited to one source per event, which
means that one has to use various "personal creative solutions" in order to
store the sources. Of course this doesn't make compatibility with Gramps
easier. 

But I will definitely do some experiementing using your suggestion and then
report back here.
