{{-}}

== What's Next Gramplet ==

The What's Next Gramplet displays a list of the "most urgent" information gaps in your family tree. It is based on the following assumptions:

{{-}}

Since Gramps 4.0 we have common and specific gramplets according active view (navigation/category).

* Children gramplet on Person views (also ancestry category and relations), family view

{{-}}

The Attributes gramplet shows all of the attributes for the current, active person. Double click on the name of the attribute, and you will run a Quick View that shows all of the people that have that attribute, and the values for it. You can sort the Quick View by the attribute value by clicking on the column name.

{{-}}

The Descendant gramplet shows the direct descendants of the active person.

{{-}}

The Fan Chart gramplet shows the direct ancestors of the active person in a circular format. It is similar to the Pedigree View, but shown around the center/active person, and further generations spiralling out.

{{-}}

The Pedigree gramplet shows a compressed view of the active person's direct ancestors. It defaults to going back 100 generations. The names can be clicked to change the active person, double-clicked (or right-click) to edit the person. This Gramplet also shows at the bottom of the gramplet the number of people per generation. Double-click the Generation number to see the matching individuals.

{{-}}

This Gramplet shows all direct relatives of the active person. It's intended use is as a navigation help, an alternative way to move through your Gramps database. If you detach the gramplet, and place it next to Gramps, it will allow you to use it to easily change the content of the current "person view".

{{-}}

The Image Metadata Gramplet offers an easy interface to add, edit, and remove Image Exif Metadata from your images (*.jpg, *.png. *.tiff, *.exv, *.nef, *.psd, *.pgf).

:image.write() # write the Metadata

My perferred way to use this addon is:

# Select an image from the left hand MediaView

;Photographer:

:Type in something about the image, the people in it or the location of the image. Non-latin characters are NOT allowed. ASCII characters only...

#Save
