Show partner's ancestors also with multiple marriages #92

Open olivierberten opened 2 years ago

Example: clicking Maria Bach shows Johann Sebastian Bach's ancestors while clicking on him won't show neither Maria Bach's nor Anna Magdalena Wilcke's ancestors.

By the way, it would be useful to have a sign somewhere on a person's box showing there's more family to them when it's not displayed.

It was a conscious decision not to show ancestors of all spouses if there is more than one spouse.

Showing a marker that there are more ancestors/descendants that are not shown sounds like a good idea.

I just realized that https://github.com/PeWu/topola-viewer/issues/135 is a duplicate of this issue so I'll close the other one and write my description here:

We have a person A who has been married with two partners: P1 and P2.

When selecting A, the ancestors of P1 and P2 are not rendered. When selecting P1, the ancestors of A and P1 are rendered. When selecting P2, the ancestors of A and P2 are rendered (same as 2. but for P2).

I'm not sure whether there's a reason for not rendering the ancestors, but I'd love if it could be possible to render them all.

May I ask why you decided not to include these ancestors?

Would it make sense to add another view that shows everyone? It seems to be a popular demand based on other forums and also reported issues on this repo.
