Thanks for the addon 😊
I was going to continue to document this but this is as far as I can go as I don't want an account with this company (based on past interactions!) Hopefully some body else will continue! Will use the sample ftb file ( 95 person tree for American president John Fitzgerald Kennedy.)
Questions:
Does the addon really sync future updates or is it only one way from FTB to Gramps?
Do you recommend that the sync only be done into an empty family tree?
For anyone wanting to use FTB
How to Use Family Tree Builder for Genealogy - You need to have a MyHeritage account to use Family Tree Builder. When you first run the program, you’ll be prompted to sign up for a MyHeritage account or log in to your existing account.
Can I choose not to sync my Family Tree Builder tree with my site? - To do so, you should stop the ‘Automatic sync’ in Family Tree Builder as described.

Thanks for help! Answering questions: 1)Does the addon really sync future updates or is it only one way from FTB to Gramps? The name sync was choosen at start of work, as i planned to make it sync, but later after some struggling i ended up just making import, maybe later (cant promise) i will make it really sync, after this experience, i have some ideas how to make it... 2)Do you recommend that the sync only be done into an empty family tree? Well at first import: yes. But later you "update" your tree just reimporting it all. I wrote in readme how it works.
Your welcome.

Ok maybe rename the addon to just FTB-Importer for now to reflect that?
FYI worked out the FTB install directory has sample files in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MyHeritage\Data\Sample\Database
I'm checking to see if I can get the addon to find the file directly to import or is that not possible?
I managed to get the addon working by just coping the sample ( 95 person tree for American president John Fitzgerald Kennedy.) database to the folder:
C:\Documents\Documents\MyHeritage
End result for the Sample 95 person tree for American president John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
Ok, i'll rename it. You have to choose folder of your tree project which is located in Documents/MyHeritage/tree project. I wrote in readme how to get the folder location
Updated readme further
Attempt at documentation.
Include a link to the download file for FTBand mention if it works with a minimum version of the FTB program?Announcement from developer on Gramps Forum:
