But all the other types of objects carried along as hoped! So every Person (& every Family) but the dummy person was dropped in the process. And I’d only have to clean out the dummy person & dummy note after the import.įor the most part that worked… except that there is a bug where the export process double-filters the People. Every linked object there would be carried along in the Export. And hanging all those Families on a dummy profile was nearly as bad. It required hanging all the different object types on a Person… which meant each Place would need its own Event. I thought I had a workaround for a few minutes by hanging objects on a Dummy person & exporting just that 1 person. Maybe a feature request to “Export all data having the ”? Naturally, there would complications to exporting discrete records: include its secondary objects? include its hierarchy of enclosing objects?īut it is these kinds of oversights that creates a niche for external tools. These include the items that cannot be directly addressed: internet records, addresses, LDS ordinances, alternate names. But even if a filter that wasn’t Person criteria was added, there are records that cannot designated by filtering. Even something a simple as a single Note cannot be exported. If you want a different slice, you are currently out of luck.įor instance, you cannot to export (a part of or, all of) a Place tree or a Repository or a Media collection. The Export in Gramps is based on a Person as the slice criteria. But this creates a parsing problem at the other end.) (Sometimes there a workaround with Reports or Category View exports to CSV. I think the starting assumption was that the data was not in Gramps yet and that no Import add-on existed yet either.īut one of the oversights that Gramps shares with other programs is the lack of an option to export an unexpected slice of its data.
