I discovered that entering a data tag was easy enough, but if I clicked "okay" to save the source before I'd moved the cursor out of the data field being edited, it didn't get saved and therefore wouldn't show up in the census gramplet. Also, I had to move to another individual and then back before what I'd entered would show up in the main gramplet window. So far though, I'm not totally sure I really need the census gramplet, as it seems to require a fair amount of extra data entry. Much of which I've already entered in another way. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" What do you call that noise, that you put on?

That's what I thought, hence my initial lack of enthusiasm. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" You destroyed my confidence, you broke my nerve Nervous Wreck - Radio Stars ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Gramps-users mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users |

This is a point for great > enthusiasm, as it makes your data more robust, standardizes it, and Quite. That's why I've been warming to the census gramplet. My initial disappointment came about because it means me re-entering a certain amount of data. A process I've just recently had to go through for other reasons. However, it will force me to re-evaluate all my research to ensure accuracy. Which, all in all, is no bad thing. > If there are little refinements that we can make, that would be great. > Everyone should use the "feature request" to make all parts of Gramps Once I've got a better idea of the way (I think) it could be improved, if I think it does need imrpovement, I'll certainly add my two cents worth as feature requests. :-) > Thanks! I wouldn't do that just yet, you don't know what I'm going to ask for. :-)) -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" Watching the people get lairy I Predict A Riot - Kaiser Chiefs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 _______________________________________________ Gramps-users mailing list [hidden email] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/gramps-users |
