11 years ago Once I have loaded a GEDCOM from Firefox etc how do I load or reset geneapro to load another GEDCOM with out going to the command line?
It isn't doable, and I do not want to have a GUI button to do that. This could be very dangerous, and people would hate me if they were to lose their data ! Currently, the recommended way is to rename the file 'geneapro.db', and restart geneapro with ./geneapro.py
Eventually, there might be a way to have multiple databases and chose at runtime, but I am not sure how much Django would let me do that, nor if there is really any value in that. For most users, it is better to have a single big database, and good filters to chose what should be displayed.
PS:A liitle feedback. I like geneapro and that you can now load the GEDCOM from Firefox. The Fan chart look really good. The pedigree chart is too small when it loads better if it uses more of the screen. The quilt chart is different but after reading about it I believe it to be very interesting and full of potential. I suggest that you include those help files etc from http://briot.github.com/geneapro/index.html and add a help button.
Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated. As you noticed, Geneapro is more of an experiment than a real software at this point, although I really hope to use it for my own genealogical data at some point.
Regarding the pedigree, doesn't it use the whole space available on the screen ? It might be because in the Gramps sample file, there are no ancestors for the person 1, and a bug in computing the amount of horizontal space in this case. On my screen, though, the default display with that gramps file is relatively reasonable.
