→What Tellico Is
==What Tellico Is==
[httphttps://www.periapsistellico-project.org/tellico/ Tellico] Collection management software, free and simple. Tellico keeps track of the items in a collection, and offers an easy way to enter data for each entry. It provides several field types, and allows for an unlimited number of user-defined fields. The entries in a collection may be grouped by any field for easy organization, and customizable views show as much or as little information as you like.
==What Tellico Is Not==
Tellico is not an audio or video player. It does not provide facilities for reading or modifying multimedia files. It also does not provide any image-editing functionality. Although Tellico has some functionality for managing bibliography lists, it is not a full-blown bibliographic reference manager. Tellico also does not pretend to have all the capabilities of a full-fledged relational database,
As somewhat of a disclaimer, Tellico is a hobby for the author, and no guarantees are made about its functionality, usefullnessusefulness, or otherwise. It's very far from being a professional software package.
Also, it is '''not a GRAMPS Gramps XML editor ''' ...
==How can I use Tellico with GRAMPS Gramps ?==
[[media:Tellico.tar.gz|Here]] two GPL scripts. Improve/modify them for having what you want.
But '''don't try them with your primary database''', export your data to GRAMPS Gramps XML format.
gramps2tellico:
===Gramps 3.3.x===
For files generated by Gramps 3.3.x, you need to change with a text editor, the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML_Namespace namespace ] on above scripts, from:
xmlns:gr="http://gramps-project.org/xml/1.3.0/"
to:
You need be warned it is '''only SOURCE data'''.
That's why, to avoid repository issues, '''don't export reporef empty hlink'''.Same thing for images, it is <u>not a relational database</u>. Images are not exported to GRAMPS Gramps XML. Very experimental, '''only for testing'''.

==Why is this interesting ?==
* We have an open flat database dedicated to sources and genealogical search.
* Seizure Data entry is facilitated, all is on one dialog.
* It is not high-level but fast and light, and we don't need java and OpenOffice or [http://www.documentfoundation.org/download/ LibreOffice].
* Users made their own fields, [[Xsl|XSL]] and [[Gramps XML ]] are documented and open.
I acknowledge that I did not test it on long seizures data entry sessions or with a lots of sources. But tellico saves on XML (like gramps): it is a safeguard. For seizure data entry into Gramps, have a look at [[Census_Addons|Census Addon]]. See [[GEPS_018:_Evidence_style_sources]] and [[GEPS_023:_Storing_data_from_large_sources]] for advanced interfaces and models.
