Re: [Gramps-users] GRAMPS under Mandrake 9 seems okay

[Celia <Gen...@ya...>]

Hi!

I just joined.  I'm currently using Family Tree Make 10.0 under Windows ME.
I'm considering switching to Mandrake 9, and am look for a genealogy
program.
Having used FTM for 5 years, it's going to be hard to switch because "old
habits die hard."  Anyways, GRAMPS was recommended, and from what little
I've seen it looks good.  I have yet to download and give it a try.

How does the program track sources?  FTM allows sourcing for just about any
field, and I like that.  I also add text into the source, does GRAMPS allow
you to do that?  If so, is there a limit on the number of characters for the
text?

Does GRAMPS allow graphics?  I currently have oodles of photos and scans of
documents, etc. in the scrapbook portion of FTM.

I just recently upgraded to FTM v10 because it allowed exporting of reports
to PDF format.  Is that something in the future of GRAMPS?  Does it export
RTF now?

--Celia :o)
