Addons missing
There appear to be AddOns missing from the Wiki User:Bamaustin(talk 23:31, 11 November 2019)
- Just spotted this list! I made my own along with other Gramps related stuff see my user page for links to the two subpages.
- * User:Gioto/addons-source (can be moved/merged or deleted as required )
- * Other Gramps addons not in addon-source but listed on Github (can be moved/merged or deleted as required )
- * Add pages from User:Matt#Contributions: table of addons if needed
- * See this page Rule expansions for the filters probably needs to be renamed as a page to something like "Addons:Filter_Rules" as a catch all page?

Deterministic ID - Tool for testing. "There is a small add-on called 'Deterministic ID' which changes and resets the ID generation algorithm from a combination of date/random to a simple counter, starting at zero. This makes handles easier to read, and you can infer the order of handle creation from the handle number during debugging." | DetId.addon.tgz |
Gramplet for detecting and assigning faces | FaceDetection.addon.tgz |
Addon:Lxml_Gramplet - Group of addons:

lxml.addon.tgz |
PhpGedView - Download a GEDCOM file from a phpGedView server. This plugin uses the phpGedView CGI GEDCOM Access Protocol v?.? to retrieve the GEDCOM file from the webserver. | PhpGedView.addon.tgz |

Bare urls - let's hide them?
Do we really need a column that shows the name of the download that possibly infrequently used (do we have statistics?) or can we just show a download icon? I'll just point you to this Wikipedia:Bare_URLs for reasons. --Gioto (talk) 06:41, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- The download column is often useful because of the collaborative nature of Gramps. People tweaking Gramplets often need to get code snippets when building their own experiments or to restore original code when a tweak goes astray. (Removing & restoring via Plugin Manager is a more radical step.)
- Since the name of the add-on and the code need not bear resemblance to one another, it is easier to find the right example code from here than surfing the User plugins folder or GitHub.
- GitHub might be the most appropriate tool for programmers managing code but setting up a Forking environment has an intimidating learning curve. This lets people dip a toe in coding instead of throwing them in the deep end.

- Thanks for the response, understood keep the column; the next part of my question is that instead of showing an unfriendly bare URL to users lets hide the link behind an icon. If no one opposes that's what I'll do. --Gioto (talk) 23:27, 17 June 2020 (UTC)
- That should be ok, but consider that a user seeing the download icon may just do that and wonder what to do next, the icon should also not have a word on it due to translations so maybe a download icon that has an arrow pointing down in black and white? The bare url in this case discourages non technical people for downloading manually I believe. Thanks for the improvements you've both made. --Sam888 (talk) 00:13, 18 June 2020 (UTC)

Gears tend to be used for preferences/settings. How about a Python (.py) document in a compressing clamp or in a cardboard carton? The typical old icons for .tgz archives used a
(clunky) c-clamp and the newer ones have a cardboard carton with a logo on the front indicating the contents. (By the way, it is a bare archive filename rather than a URL in the add-on table.)
Bamaustin (talk) 14:47, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- I found a tgz icon but it was not free for use. FYI the Download pages in other languages using
which probably needs to change to an icon with no word. --Gioto (talk) 23:58, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- >> By the way, it is a bare archive filename rather than a URL in the add-on table.)
Yes I'm aware, the idea is to get rid of the name which really serves no purpose for the normal user and to make the table more compact. --Gioto (talk) 00:05, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
Agreed that a text-based download icon isn't appropriate for an international tool.
(As a personal observation of no consequence... I think downloads used to be a distinction that had importance when data transfer rates were such a big issue. We're downloading content with every click when we browse. We just store it in a temp space & discard. And it still is an issue for bulky downloads... like the Gramps installers. But these 'downloads' are smaller than most of the images. That isn't a consideration for what should be done... just an evolution that I find to be a curiosity.)
Tango SVGs are available from Wikimedia Commons. It would be a simple matter to layer a Python logo dropping into the carton with any of the free SVG editors.
Bamaustin (talk) 00:50, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
I've discovered that there is a serious flaw in hiding the filename. When you click on these links in Chrome, the browser does a silent download. The only feedback is a progress bar In the border of the titlebar. A file is added to the downloads but the user does not know what filename to seek among the other files. If the filename isn't displayed in the table, you can't just open a download folder window next to the table and match the download.
If you found an option to collapse the column like you can hide table rows, that might be a viable option. However, Sam has replied that information hiding wasn't acceptable in other places as it created a conflict for the printable page feature. (I had suggested collapsing the Download section for each OS. My thinking was that the instructions not related to the user's OS were distracting... well, to be brutally blunt, the Linux section was been horrifyingly convoluted to the typical Win/MacOS user downloading a simple GUI-based installer. It does not make a good first impression.)
Possible Automated generation of report/addons etc
Could possibly be revived , looks like it was abandoned 5 years ago, but something like this could cover all builtin reports/tool/plugins etc.. and third party addons?
- GRAMPS reports examples: This page provides examples for most of the GRAMPS reports, for each GRAMPS version.: These reports are generated automatically. https://belissent.github.io/gramps-example-reports/
- Code: https://github.com/belissent/gramps-example-reports
in response to [15]
What do you think?
