Hello Call me Dave

I try to help out others on the Gramps Reddit.

Interesting addons

• Addon:Isotammi addons - not part of Gramps addons but can be installed very easily.
  • SuperTools - excellent tool allows scripts, should be part of Gramps by default!
• Addon:GeneanetForGramps - unreleased
• Addon:Lxml Gramplet (includes "etree Gramplet" ) (explore more but on Linux ) has some errors I need to report.
• Addon:CardView - unreleased
• https://github.com/jmichault/PersonFS "PersonFS is a gramplet to interface gramps with familysearch.com." [1]From this post on Gramps Geneanet Forum [fr (which include some screenshots)] "Note: it works only on Linux platforms; it needs asynchio Python library unavailable on Windows version of Gramps." https://www.geneanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=803090 https://gramps.discourse.group/t/familysearch-gramplet/3475

Gramps info

New widget: interactive searchbox. Use our own interactive-search box to get it.

Introduced in Gramps 4.2.0 (mentioned on Whats New page )

1. more efficient (binary search on sorted columns).
2. customizable (delayed by 150ms launch of search to avoid text scrambling)

https://github.com/gramps-project/gramps/blob/master/gramps/gui/widgets/interactivesearchbox.py

Press Ctrl-F to open the searchbox on any of the list or just give the list focus (select a line) and start typing

• 150ms is 0.15 seconds ( quarter of a second)
  • Whats new mentions the timing is customizable ; so 1000ms is 1 second ( line 59 shows: _SEARCH_DIALOG_LAUNCH_TIMEOUT = 150 and changing that works!

If nothing is typed then after 5 seconds ( 5000ms ) the box goes away ( _SEARCH_DIALOG_TIMEOUT = 5000 )
