Re: [Gramps-bugs] "bug report" Also refer to earlier report

[Don A. <don...@co...>]

Try doing the following:

Make a copy of your backups. You should have <file>.backup.gramps and
<file>.backup.gramps.old next to your database. In case something goes
wrong, you can rebuild your database from these files. But make a backup
of them now so that GRAMPS does not overwrite them.

Open up your database. Under the Tools Menu, run the following tools:

1) Database Repair -> Rebuild secondary indices
2) Database Repair -> Rebuild reference maps

Exit the program.

Start GRAMPS. If your database is not restored, create a new one and
import from one of the backups.
