Been a while since I’ve checked out Gramps on OSX. Looking good! Most of the UI text is now looking native and “retina” on my Retina MacBook Pro. Some of the lists must be using the older code – they still appear with the low-res text. And the top toolbar icons are comically huge and pixelated, but that can be hidden.
Thanks for these many improvements!

How long before the windows release? Would like to get past some of the bugs stuck in 4.2.1 :p.

Would anyone be able to comment on the web version of gramps, or of an Android version?

How are languages handled in the program. I cannot find how to change program language and / or report language?

I am using Family Group report and it is great. Just wanted it to display photo on the right corner or reserve space when photo is not available. How/Where do I request such feature?

Hello! I’ve just discovered Gramps and would like to start using it and contributing at whatever level I can. I’m a technical writer and low-level developer (I’ve done some VBscript programming with the Microsoft Object Model, moving info to and from SharePoint to for example PPT and Excel.) It sounds crazy but I haven’t even installed it yet–going purely off of your documentation and coparing it with experiences I’ve had with other systems. When I do install, it will be a Windows version, as the only Linux I have in this house is my Raspi.
At this moment my personal passion is to develop a usable format for displaying genealogy on Google maps. I’ve displayed my own tree in primitive format already. I am eager to use the Google Earth plugin. However, I would also like to support the gramps-connect project, if there are any embers of it left still burning. It looks like the last comment on the Wiki about that was over a year ago.

Please build an 4.2.2-win32 or 4.2.2-win64 version. Whenever you want to add an dead or marriage event the entire program crashes on windows.

Can’t recomend to update since the latest Windows build 4.2.1 is useless because of bugs. One can’t even even add an marriage or death date. It crashes every time. It’s a.well known bug and is fixed with 4.2.2 only in Mac or Linux builds.

What is the parameter after “$” to display the address of a person on graphical report descendant tree?

Goodnight,
I have a problem with the translation of gramps into Spanish in graphical reports, I use version 4.2.2, when I make the report instead of putting me Hijo or Hijos (in Spanish) I get as son or children in English
I have not found a way to contact the translator, can you ask? It’s important, I need the graphics for an exhibition in a few months
