Hello. I'm a software developer and try to fix some disturbing problems in Gramps. Unfortunately there's more to Free Software than meets the eye so patches often get relegated since I'm not an official Gramps developer. I'll post the links to my bug reports with patches here so that perhaps it can help someone. Additionally I'll post links to patches which make Gramps better for me but do not classify as bug fixes. Hopefully they'll make it better for you too. If you want to try these patches bear in mind they're "Third-party patches". You might need to create an account in the bug tracker so you can download them which is not complicated. The patches are or were for Gramps Trunk, generally Gramps 3.2-3.3 or more recent, but should apply with some fuzz to any problematic or correspondent version. I'm interested in the plugins/textreport subsystem.

Note(a): Many of the patches listed here have eventually been accepted and applied to Gramps. Be sure to check whether your version of Gramps does not already offer the correspondent functionality.

Note(b): For a discussion on attempting to apply patches on the Windows platform, see this discussion on the GRAMPS - Windows mailing list: http://gramps.1791082.n4.nabble.com/Fwd-Re-How-to-install-patch-td3206174.html .

Detailed Descendant Report -- standard position for child-list descendant numbering (Gramps 3.2)

Gramps' Detailed Descendant Report was already quite complete but there was a point in which it deviated from classic descendancy reports. The descendant numbers in the child list were put to the right of their name which made it uneven. The patch in the link below fixed this putting child numbers at the far left as most descendant reports do.

Changing the default family relationship type from "Unknown" to "Married" in Gramps (as of March 2010)

If you'd like to change the default family relationship type from "Unknown" to "Married" in Gramps, as of March 2010, do the following. Exit Gramps, edit the file src/gen/lib/familyreltype.py in your Gramps source code directory (you may need to be root) and change the penultimate line from

            value = self.UNKNOWN

to

            value = self.MARRIED

then restart Gramps.
