I'm trying to rationalise my sources, imported from another family tree
DB program, but am having difficulty.
I've ended up with lots of GRAMPS 'sources' like the following:
GRAMPS ID, say S001 is "previous source A"
GRAMPS ID, say S002 is "previous source B"
GRAMPS ID, say S003 is "previous source A; previous source "
etc, etc.
I want to convert these to something like:
GRAMPS ID, say S001: previous source A plus the references in S003, i.e.
(S001+S003)
GRAMPS ID, say S002: previous source B plus the references in S003, i.e.
(S002+S003)
So I'd like to be able to merge S003 with S001, and then S003 with S002.
But as far as I can see there are problems:
(1) if I merge S003 with S001 it's no longer available to merge with S002.
So I'd like to be able to copy S003 somewhere separately, so
I can merge S003 with S001 and then merge "S003copy" with S002
But:
(2) Drag and Drop S003 onto the Clipboard doesn't create a copy but only
a link, so once S003 has been merged with S001, I presume the Clipboard
'copy' becomes invalid or now links to the merged S003+S001 - not what I
need!
Is there some way round this of making a genuine copy of a source?
