 +
 +
...........................
 +
************Papercuts - Enhancements******************
 +
[] dashboard - order of default Gramplets is different on ms-windows  versus linux? eg: top [surnames|welcome] on win 10 - how do you guarantee order ( hae a look at geography view each time the views order is different, which does not help with keybindings!)
 +
[] On each "autobackup/report/export assistant wizard/make backup xml/import/export view as..." options the "File Name:" location should default to the OS's home/documents & media directory  "~" [Linux/Mac OS/MS-Windows (C:\Users\<~username>\Documents) Media> (C:\Users\<username>\Pictures ) ]  eg:  Gtk.FileChooser.set_current_folder()
 +
see recent issue where user overwrote report_settings.xml with a report on Macosx!
 +
[] add a menu option under "Help" to "Open folder locations"? to aid with helping people for "user directory" etc "Media directory"  (see recent difficulty with finding user directory
 +
https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=10370
 +
[] for the "filter" gramplets can we name each one (shown on Title bar when detached) and provide working help link (then update screenshots and link to wiki)
 +
[] For "Paper_Options" if the user is not in the USA and comes from a country that uses metric set paper to A4 automatically!
 +
https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=1703
 +
https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_4#Paper_Options
 +
[] repeated use of the same icon for different views especially with addons loaded eg Charts three icons identical! can we use different colors or a border/underline for third party addons? (simpliest answer if make more icons)
 +
[] text reports - Place Report  - use the active selected place by default and then allow people to change (keep it consistent with how other reports are.)
 +
[] Graph report - Family Lines - consider having "People of Interest" tab first so it's obvious that something has to be selected / or bring this report in line with others so that the Active person is already selected at a minimum.
 +
[] For each report determine what the optimal page settings are and use them as defaults
 +
[] for each report be able to have separate settings per report for the page settings!
 +
[] text reports- Database Summary Report - is not very useful as it does not name the "Family Tree" the summary is for or a date for reference.  and it's missing an actual summary of other information eg citation/repository's it can provide more information
 +
[] text reports - "Records Report" is not very useful as it does not name the "Family Tree"  or the date produced
 +
[] for clarity suggest adding the word "List" to the list views (this will make it easier to support people) (see my suggestion previous unmerged PR)
 +
[] context menu's (right click) add an entry for "Help" at the bottom of each?
 +
[] how do we get text under icons on the toolbar? (for usability)
 +
[] Make toolbar icons insensitive (grey them out) when not needed or available to use eg: empty list 
 +
[] If the list view is empty, add a greyed out single (non select-able) entry that instructs the user to add to the list?
 +
[] Tool Selection dialog - needs help button
 +
[] when running a second instance of gramps if you attempt to open a family tree that's open in the first instance the break lock dialog should have an additional button option to open as read only.
 +
[] "Books reports"  dialog change the name of the second section from "Current book" to Current book items" (aids in legibility of user manual!)
 +
[] "Select a Map Service" button list does not indicate which one has been selected. (have a radio button next to it?)
 +
[] "Family Trees" Manager button (displays "Connect to a recent database" when you hover over it) Change it to "Connect to a recent  Family Tree"
 +
[] "Family Trees" Manager - Archive (RCS) the "Revision comment" dialog should be renamed to "Archive version comment" and the label "Version description" should be the same?
 +
[] No Menu option to add/delete/restore a Gramplet is available.
 +
[] Gramps CLI info "gramps -v" needs a section that list third-party addons with version numbers and if prerequisites have been met.
 +
[] keybinding on Categories only goes 0 to 9(citations) and we now have 13 categories :( So repositories/media/notes have no shortcut (maybe ctl+shift+<number> ?  ctl plus / minus?  [SM- ok: ctl + n = next category / ctl + p = previous category]
 +
[] age on date gramplett - awkward wording on the resulting "quick view"
 +
[] "Family Tree Manager" for the status column the status icons need tooltips or just use words
 +
[] Sort Events tool has no feedback on completion!
 +
[] narweb spelling of the tab "Html options" should be "HTML Options" to keep it consistent.
 +
[] report options tabs issues with repeating names (due to tab reorganization!) think of better single word names!
 +
 +
@@@@@@@@@@@@@@User manual@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
 +
[] Using a wiki for the user manual has already been shown that it does not make translating the manual any easier! (find a simpler way so as to not waist a translators time) as well as the overhead of maintaining the mediawiki!
 +
[] Note that page 20 ( Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_1 ) will be merged to ( Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports ) later as Gramps code needs to update for all subsequent pages!!)
 +
[] add documentation section about "Active Person"  / " Home Person"  to user manual
 +
[] geography view rename:
 +
* "The map" tab to "Map Common"
 +
* rename each of the tabs for the views so they either have the name of the view in full on the tab or the name appears as a text line.
 +
[] @prculley Originally when I created that the "Add>New" menu I had intended for each option to initially switch to that particular list view and then present the editor and once the new item was created for it to be the active highlighted item in the list view, so that users could link the action they have taken with the result instead of having to search for it afterward? Do you know if this is or something similar is possible?
 +
 +
prcully>>(Almost) Anything is possible ;-)...  I'm pretty sure that would take some code to do both switch views (do whatever clicking on item on left side does) and then invoke Editor.  And then finally change active to new whatever.  Probably only four lines of code for each editor.
 +
 +
 +
..............Unsorted................................
 +
[] Only documented behavior should be supported. Ensure that clear documentation is a requirement for contributions enhancing Gramps (Part of the PR)
 +
[] advanced apendix that mentions. Custom filters (custom_filter.xml) and report setting (?.xml) not being backed up for migration and backup?  also ( recent-files-gramps.xml ) 
 +
see:
 +
* https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_1
 +
Report Settings
 +
The settings chosen when generating a report is stored in the users profile, in .gramps/report_options.xml, and will be used as default settings when generating the next report. If there is a need to revert to the default options for any reason, this file can simply be deleted.
 +
[] update url's from http to https where possible eg:  gramps/gen/config.py see:
 +
register('behavior.web-search-url', 'http://google.com/#&q=%(text)s')

[] repeated use of the same icon for different views especially with addons loaded eg Charts three icons identical! can we use different colors or a border/underline for third party addons? (simpliest answer if make more icons)
[] text reports - Place Report  - use the active selected place by default and then allow people to change (keep it consistent with how other reports are.)
[] Graph report - Family Lines - consider having "People of Interest" tab first so it's obvious that something has to be selected / or bring this report in line with others so that the Active person is already selected at a minimum.
[] For each report determine what the optimal page settings are and use them as defaults
[] for each report be able to have separate settings per report for the page settings!
[] text reports- Database Summary Report - is not very useful as it does not name the "Family Tree" the summary is for or a date for reference.  and it's missing an actual summary of other information eg citation/repository's it can provide more information
[] text reports - "Records Report" is not very useful as it does not name the "Family Tree"  or the date produced
[] for clarity suggest adding the word "List" to the list views (this will make it easier to support people) (see my suggestion previous unmerged PR)
[] context menu's (right click) add an entry for "Help" at the bottom of each?
[] how do we get text under icons on the toolbar? (for usability)
[] Make toolbar icons insensitive (grey them out) when not needed or available to use eg: empty list  
[] If the list view is empty, add a greyed out single (non select-able) entry that instructs the user to add to the list?
[] Tool Selection dialog - needs help button
[] when running a second instance of gramps if you attempt to open a family tree that's open in the first instance the break lock dialog should have an additional button option to open as read only.
[] "Books reports"  dialog change the name of the second section from "Current book" to Current book items" (aids in legibility of user manual!)
[] "Select a Map Service" button list does not indicate which one has been selected. (have a radio button next to it?)
[] "Family Trees" Manager button (displays "Connect to a recent database" when you hover over it) Change it to "Connect to a recent  Family Tree"
[] "Family Trees" Manager - Archive (RCS) the "Revision comment" dialog should be renamed to "Archive version comment" and the label "Version description" should be the same?
[] No Menu option to add/delete/restore a Gramplet is available.
[] Gramps CLI info "gramps -v" needs a section that list third-party addons with version numbers and if prerequisites have been met.
[] keybinding on Categories only goes 0 to 9(citations) and we now have 13 categories :( So repositories/media/notes have no shortcut (maybe ctl+shift+<number> ?  ctl plus / minus?   [SM- ok: ctl + n = next category / ctl + p = previous category]
[] age on date gramplett - awkward wording on the resulting "quick view"
[] "Family Tree Manager" for the status column the status icons need tooltips or just use words
[] Sort Events tool has no feedback on completion!
[] narweb spelling of the tab "Html options" should be "HTML Options" to keep it consistent.
[] report options tabs issues with repeating names (due to tab reorganization!) think of better single word names!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@User manual@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@
[] Using a wiki for the user manual has already been shown that it does not make translating the manual any easier! (find a simpler way so as to not waist a translators time) as well as the overhead of maintaining the mediawiki!
[] Note that page 20 ( Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_1 ) will be merged to ( Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports ) later as Gramps code needs to update for all subsequent pages!!)
[] add documentation section about "Active Person"  / " Home Person"  to user manual
[] geography view rename:
	* "The map" tab to "Map Common"
	* rename each of the tabs for the views so they either have the name of the view in full on the tab or the name appears as a text line.
[] @prculley Originally when I created that the "Add>New" menu I had intended for each option to initially switch to that particular list view and then present the editor and once the new item was created for it to be the active highlighted item in the list view, so that users could link the action they have taken with the result instead of having to search for it afterward? Do you know if this is or something similar is possible?

prcully>>(Almost) Anything is possible ;-)...   I'm pretty sure that would take some code to do both switch views (do whatever clicking on item on left side does) and then invoke Editor.  And then finally change active to new whatever.   Probably only four lines of code for each editor.


..............Unsorted................................
[] Only documented behavior should be supported. Ensure that clear documentation is a requirement for contributions enhancing Gramps (Part of the PR)
[] advanced apendix that mentions. Custom filters (custom_filter.xml) and report setting (?.xml) not being backed up for migration and backup?  also ( recent-files-gramps.xml )  
see:
	* https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=Gramps_5.0_Wiki_Manual_-_Reports_-_part_1
	Report Settings
	The settings chosen when generating a report is stored in the users profile, in .gramps/report_options.xml, and will be used as default settings when generating the next report. If there is a need to revert to the default options for any reason, this file can simply be deleted. 
[] update url's from http to https where possible eg:  gramps/gen/config.py see: 
register('behavior.web-search-url', 'http://google.com/#&q=%(text)s')

############## Addons #################
[] ClipboardGramplet no longer works between session (Add feature request to enhance the built in clipboard with these functions?) https://gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php?title=ClipboardGramplet
[] Add on Graphical Report - Descendants Lines -Error writing to Output Stream  (turn off document options and make sure report defaults to the documents directory (reported a few times on the mailing list)  / also report defaults to png but is able to output svg according to the wiki help page.
