GEPS 004: My Gramps and Gadgets
Proposed changes for enhancing GRAMPS by adding a new document generator that allows a report to be displayed on the screen, with graphical objects such as tables, buttons, text entry, links, etc. This would effectively be able to turn a report into an interface for moving, say, the active person in the main window, or, possibly, for user-defined data entry.
Motivation
Allows user to add to the interface, and to use existing reports as extensions to the interface.
Details
In progress... exploring gtk/gdk to see what is available.
