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

[emma9158 <em...@lo...>]

HA!!

I figured out how to do it, with some trial and error using the various
suggestions you have all given me here.

It turns out that when you export a GEDCOM from Gramps, the citations with
confidence NORMAL has NO line for QUAY.
I.e. if you have a citation with confidence value LOW, there will be a line
with QUAY 1 below the SOURCE line. If you have a citation with confidence
value HIGH, there will be a line with QUAY 2. 
But if you have a citation with confidence value NORMAL, the QUAY line is
non-existing.

So, I simply went back to my export GEDCOM (from my swedish program) and
changed the line
QUAY 1
to
; QUAY 1

and Gramps imported this correctly, with the confidence value NORMAL.

So, although I should test a bit more to ensure there are no unexpected
problems, I'd say this solves the problem.

However, it would of course be incredibly nice with a Gramps tool that made
it possible to mass-change the value within Gramps rather than having to
edit GEDCOM-files.

Thank you all so much for your replies, I have previously never investigade
the GEDCOM-files, and I feel I have gathered new, interesting knowledge from
this experiment, and will probably try to learn more now that I have
started.
