source of gedcom import

[Anton Huber]

Hello,
since the new version 2 a source is generated by importing an gedcom
file. Can I delete is? If I want to delete it in "Source" I cannot
because Gramps stops. Or can you make an option not exporting sources
while exporting an gedcom file?

Best regards,

Anton

Could you please be more specific? What is the portion of GEDCOM
responsible for this, and what source it creates that it should not?

You should be able to delete any source you wish. What exactly
happens when 'Gramps stops'? If you start gramps from the terminal,
any messages you see when it stops?

Why export? Was the GEDCOM produced by GRAMPS as well?

I'm confused :-)

I see.

We have just figured what's going on. This source is linked to every
person imported. Removing it using usual ways is very slow, because
every person gets rebuilt in the interface. We may be able to remove
it much quicker, this will be done in the next release. For now
I suggest you leave that source, until the next release allows
you to remove it smoothly. Because it is so slow, it appears that
gramps stopped.

This is a silly typo. Please change your /usr/share/gramps/WriteGedcom.py
file on line number 812. Instead of
     if birth.get_description() != "":

it should be:
     if death.get_description() != "":

This will also be fixed in the next release.

Thanks,
Alex
