TMG

TMG Database importer (reads Backup SQZ )

Information related to TMG Import 7591

My attempt to create an importer for TMG

• sam888/gramps/ci/tmgimporter/

Prerequisites

• Ethan Furman's dbf-0.96.002 - First release to support python 2.x and 3.x - Allows reading/writing dBase, FoxPro, and Visual FoxPro .dbf files (including memos)
• configparser - library brings the updated configparser from Python 3.5 to Python 2.6-3.5. (Instead of having custom code to read TMG's text files)

Gramps Enhancements to match TMG behavior

Only if it makes sense. eg: no matching ability in Gramps.

• 4970 Showing TMG ID# in Gramps
• Possibly modify or have an additional Jump key to select an individual by TMG_ID#

Gramplets inspired by TMG's View/Windows

• TMG Mainviews (=Details Window)
  • (Yes) TMG Person View - Good overview of all Tags and events related to a person (No real equivalent without running a report!)
  • (No ) TMG Family View - similar to a family group sheet (Simpler than Gramps Relationship Category View)
  • (No ) TMG Tree View - Graphical: pedigree-type display (Simpler than Gramps Charts Category > Pedigree view)

• TMG's Additional windows
  • (?) TMG Flags Window -
  • ( ) TMG Children Window -
  • ( ) TMG Siblings Window -
  • (Yes) TMG Image Window - Displays Primary Exhibit only
  • ( ) TMG Associates Window -
  • (?) TMG Focus Group Window - collects groups of people into list that you can save and reuse in filters.

• TMG Picklist (Searching)
  • (Yes) TMG Search by TMG ID# - dialog (see above re: creating shortcuts)
  • (?) TMG Simple Picklist
  • (?) TMG Expanded Picklist
  • (?) TMG Project Explorer - (Advanced)

• TMG Masterlist (Gramps individual views are basically these but open the whole time)
  • TMG Master Source List (All sources recorded) -> (Can also access the "Source definition" screen)
  • TMG Master Repository List (Where source found)
  • TMG Master Place List (All places in Dataset/Project)
  • TMG Master Event List (All events contained in tags)
  • TMG Master Tag Type List (All Tag Types in alphabetical list)
  • TMG Master Style List (All name & place styles)

• TMG Logs
  • ( ) TMG Research Log
  • ( ) TMG Exhibit Log

• TMG Other features
  • (Yes) Accents (Ability to color a TMG tag/person that meets a condition)

• TMG does not have these exactly but would be handy
  • (###) Master People List - "TMG Picklist"'s above is almost equivalent.
  • (###) Master Secrets List - All items that have some degree of privacy recorded against them would appear here.
    • In TMG Privacy record options include (See TMG User manual - "Excluding Information" pg:176):
      • (Yes) Exclusion Marker: this uses the "-"(Hyphen) entered in an entry field.
        One "-"(Hyphen) hides the contents of the field from display (makes it invisible.
        Two "--"(Double Hyphen) means to never print or export (Not sure if you can override).
      • (Yes) Sensitivity Brackets: this uses "{}"(Curly brackets or braces) to surround words that should not be printed to a report.
