This plugin is an updated version of the Check.py that came with GRAMPS 3.1.0 and 3.1.1. It fixes some issues with dates in these versions of GRAMPS which stopped Tools -> Database Repair -> Check and Repair Database... from running correctly.

  1. Download the updated Check.py file. Save the file to your ./gramps/plugins directory and renamed as Check312.py.
  2. Download the updated summary.glade file. Save the file to the same ./gramps/plugins directory, without changing the name.
  3. In GRAMPS select Help -> Plugin Status
  4. Select Reload, and when the button's colour return select Close.
  5. Now you can run Tools -> Database Repair -> Check and Repair Database..., and GRAMPS will fix any problems

If you have any issues, please post a note on the GRAMPS Users Mailing List, or post an error on the Bug Tracker.
