    As commonly encountered in everyday life, there is usually more
    than one way to accomplish something in &app;. The alternatives to
    some actions will therefore be listed as appropriate.

      You will then be prompted with the <guilabel>Create GRAMPS

      which the new database will be stored.  The new database will be
      created in the BSDDB format, with <filename>.grdb</filename> as

    <para>

      The filetype filter in the <guilabel>Open database</guilabel>
      dialog allows you to display files of a certain type. If the
      <guilabel>All files</guilabel> filter is selected (the default),
      all the files will be shown. The type will be determined by the
      extension of the selected filename.

        Unlike the version 1.0.X of &app;, this version does not

      If you do not have write permissions for the selected database,
      it will be opened in a Read Only mode. In this mode, the data
      may be viewed, but no changes will be made to the database. To
      indicate this mode, the title of the main window will be
      appended with <guilabel>(Read Only)</guilabel> text.

      <title>Opening XML and GEDCOM databases</title>
      <para>

        This version allows direct opening and editing of &app; XML
        and GEDCOM databases. Please keep in mind that, unlike using
        the native grdb format, these formats require holding all data
        in memory. This leads to performance and memory consumption
        problems which grdb was designed to solve.

      </para>
      <para>

        While direct opening of a &app; XML or GEDCOM file is
        convenient for a small database, it may prove burdensome for
        large databases.  If you experience this, please consider
        creating a new native (grdb) database and importing your XML
        or GEDCOM data into it. This will make accessing your data
        much more efficient and quick.

  <sect1 id="import-data">
    <title>Importing Data</title>
    <para>

      Importing allows you to incorporate the data from other
      databases into your currently open &app; database. Currently,
      &app; can import data from the following formats: &app; database
      (grdb), GEDCOM, &app; XML, &app; package, and GeneWeb. All of
      these are available by choosing

      <menuchoice>
        <guimenu>File</guimenu>
        <guisubmenu>Import</guisubmenu>
      </menuchoice> 
      and selecting an appropriate file.

    </para>
    <para>

      &app; database (grdb), &app; XML, and &app; package are all
      native &app; formats in that there is no information loss
      resulting from reading from and writing into these formats.

          <listitem>
            <para>
              The native &app; database format is a specific form of
              Berkeley database (BSDDB) with special structure of data
              tables. This format is binary and
              architecture-dependent.  It is very quick and efficient,
              but not generally portable across computers with
              different binary architecture (e.g. i386 vs alpha).

          <listitem>
            <para>

              The &app; XML file was the default format for the
              previous stable version of &app;. Unlike the grdb
              format, it is architecture independent and
              human-readable. The database may also have references to
              non-local (external) media objects, therefore it is not
              guaranteed to be completely portable. The &app; XML
              database is created by saving (
	      <menuchoice>
                <guimenu>File</guimenu>
                <guimenuitem>Save As...</guimenuitem>

              The package is a compressed archive containing the &app;
              XML file and all media objects (images, sound files,
              etc.) to which the database refers. The &app; package is
              created by exporting (

      <title>Opening vs importing</title>
      <para>
        The difference between opening &app; database (in any format)
        and importing from &app; or GEDCOM database is that importing
        incorporates all the data into your currently open database,
        if any. In contrast, opening the database will switch from
        editing your current data to editing another file.

        The top of the window shows the dialog title including the
	name of the person whose name is being edited. The central
	part of the window displays three notebook tabs containing
	different categories of available information. You can bring
	any tab to the top for viewing or editing by clicking on the
	appropriate tab heading.  The bottom part has
	<guibutton>OK</guibutton> and <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton>
	buttons. Clicking the <guibutton>OK</guibutton> button at any
	time will apply all the changes made in all tabs and close the

            <para>

              The <guilabel>General</guilabel> tab allows editing of
	      general information about the name: given name, family
	      name, patronymic (a form of father's name used in some
	      languages, e.g. Russian), family prefix, suffix, title,
	      and type of the name. The information can be typed in
	      the appropriate text entry fields. The family name and
	      the type can be also selected from available choices
	      listed in the appropriate drop-down menus. </para>
	      <para><guilabel>Options</guilabel> allow you to adjust
	      specific grouping, sorting, and displaying properties of
	      this name, as well as to provide the date corresponding
	      to the name. The <guilabel>Grouping</guilabel> field
	      provides an alternative grouping node for a given name,
	      overriding the default grouping based on the family
	      name. This may be necessary with similar family names
	      that need to be grouped together -- for example Russian
	      names Ivanov and Ivanova are considered the same, but
	      difference in gender is reflected in different
	      spelling. To enable typing into this field, check the
	      <guilabel>Override</guilabel> check button. The
	      <guilabel>Sort as</guilabel> and <guilabel>Display
	      as</guilabel> determine the manner in which the name
	      appears in the People View and in the reports.  The
	      <guilabel>Date</guilabel> can provide information on the
	      validity of this name -- use spans as necessary.  Check
	      the <guilabel>Private record</guilabel> box to mark this
	      name record as private. This will give you a chance to
	      omit this name from being included in reports, if you

        Sometime several records in the database turn out to be

        source.  It could happen either when the data is entered twice
        by mistake, or when new information reveals that the two

        importing GEDCOM obtained from a relative, whose database
        overlaps with your existing data.

	moving from person to person) is in fact nothing else but
	changing the Active person. This section describes many

        The Pedigree View (see <xref linkend="pedigree-view"/>) also
        allows you to move along the family tree.  The benefit of this
        method is that you can see more than one generation of the
        family tree. Also, you can jump directly from a great-grandson
        to a great-grandfather without going through the intermediate
        generations.

      <para> 

        Note that after changing the active person in the Pedigree
	View, the display is re-adjusted to show four generations,
	starting from the newly selected Active person. When in the
	Pedigree View, you can easily navigate between the members of
	the displayed family tree as follows:

      </para>
      <itemizedlist>

        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>

	    To make a child of the currently active person (if any)
	    the active person, click the left arrow button to the left
	    of the corresponding box. If there is more than one child,
	    the button expands to the menu listing the children to
	    choose from.

          </para>
        </listitem>
        <listitem>
          <para>

            To move the whole family tree one generation back, click
	    on the corresponding right arrow button on the right-hand
	    side of the display area. Clicking the upper button will
	    move the tree along the paternal line. Clicking the lower
	    button will move the tree along the maternal line.

          </para>
          <para> 

	    Clicking either of these buttons is completely equivalent

    <title>Generating Reports</title>
    <para> 
      Reports are the most common form of the output produced by
      genealogical research. The majority of genealogical software
      puts a lot of emphasis on developing nice looking reports. &app;
      is no exception in this regard, offering a choice of a variety
      of reports.  &app; can generate reports in a multitude of open
      formats, both text based and graphical. &app; can also produce
      screen based reports that are convenient for viewing a summary
      of your database.  Finally, &app; can generate a web site
      suitable for immediate posting on the Internet. All of these are
      almost infinitely flexible.  If you wish to modify or extend the
      default format of &app; report, you can design and choose the
      style for each of your reports.
    </para>
    <para> 
      All reports can be accessed through the menu by choosing
      <menuchoice>

      Alternatively, you can browse the complete selection of
      available reports along with their brief descriptions in a
      <guilabel>Report Selection</guilabel> dialog invoked by clicking
      the <guibutton>Reports</guibutton> icon on the toolbar.

      <para>
        Many of the graphical reports allow you to customize the 
        information on the display. Variable substituions are used
        to substitute date for a particular symbol. There are two 
	styles of variables. The difference between the two styles 
	is how empty data is handled.
      </para>
      <para>
        The first style of variables are preceeded by a '$'. If
	the variable evaluates to an empty string, the variable is
	replaced with the empty string. The second style of 
	variables are preceeded by a '%'. If the variable evaluates
	to an empty string, the line that contains the variable is
	removed from the output.

        The configuration dialogs invoked by

        needed options. The common option for almost all book items is
        the center person: the person on whom the item is
        centered. Thanks to this option, you can create a book with
        items centered on different people (e.g. your mom's and dad's
        ancestors as separate chapters). By default, the center person
        is set to the active person.

          <para>
          Genealogy records can generate a lot of files. Many web
          servers have a difficult time with many files in a single
          directory. The Narrative Web Generator strives to keep the
          number of files per directory to a managable level. To do
          this, a hierarchy of directores is created. The generated
          files names are not intuitive, but are unique per person.
          Subsequent runs will geneate identical file names, making
          it easy to replace files.</para>
          
          <para>
          By default, the output files are written to the specified
          directory. Because of the number of files and directories
          that are created, it may be difficult to transfer the files
          to an external web host. To aid in this, you may directly
          create a gzip'd tar file to more easily upload the data.
          This is the format that should be used if you would like
          to take advantage of the free genealogy page hosting at the
          <ulink url="http://family.gramps-project.org"

        <para>

	  The Custom Filter Editor builds custom filters that can be
	  used to select people included in reports, exports, and
	  other tools and utilities. This is in fact a very powerful
	  tool in genealogical analysis.

        </para>
        <para>

	  When you launch it, the <guilabel>User defined
	  filters</guilabel> dialog appears that lists all the filters
	  (if any) previously defined by you. Click the
	  <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> button to define a new filter.
	  Once you have designed your filters, you can edit, test, and
	  delete selected filters using the
	  <guibutton>Edit...</guibutton>,
	  <guibutton>Test...</guibutton>, and
	  <guibutton>Delete</guibutton> buttons, respectively. All the
	  filters displayed in the list will be automatically saved
	  along with your database and will be available with
	  subsequent sessions of &app;.

	  filter using <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> button.  If the
	  filter has more than one rule, select one of the

	  choose whether all rules must apply, only one (either) rule
	  must apply, or exactly one (either) rule must apply, in
	  order for the filter to generate a match. If your filter has
	  only one rule, this selection has no effect.

	  The pane on the left-hand side displays available filter
          rules arranged by their categories in an expandable

          linkend="append-filtref"/>. Click on the arrows to
          fold/unfold the appropriate category.  Select the rule from
          the tree by clicking on its name. The right-hand side
          displays the name, the description, and the values for the
          currently selected rule. Once you are satisfied with your
          rule selection and its values, click
          <guibutton>OK</guibutton> to add this rule to the rule list
          of the currently edited filter. Clicking
          <guibutton>Cancel</guibutton> will abort adding the rule to
          the filter.

	    A filter you have already designed may be used as a rule
	    for another filter. This gives you nearly infinite
	    flexibility in custom-tailoring your selection criteria
	    that can be later used in most of the exports, reports,
	    and some of the tools (such as comparing individual
	    events).

	  Scratch Pad supports addresses, attributes (both personal
	  and family), events (both personal and family), names, media
	  objects references, source references, URLs, and of course
	  textual information of notes and comments. To store any type
	  of these records, simply drag the existing record on to the
	  Scratch Pad from the corresponding editor dialog. To reuse
	  the record, drag it from the Scratch Pad on to the
	  corresponding place in the editor, e.g. Address tab,
	  Attribute tab, etc.

	</para>
        <tip>
          <para>

	    Some objects are showing the link icon on the left. This
	    indicates that dragging such selection will produce a
	    reference to an existing object, not copy the object
	    itself.

	  </para>
          <para>

	    For example, the media object file will not be duplicated.
	    Instead, the reference will be made to an existing media
	    object, which will result in the local gallery entry.

	    Scratch Pad storage is persistent within a single &app;

	    records. However, exiting &app; will.

		  The Check tool detects inconsistencies in the

              <para>

	        For example, you may want to make sure that nobody in
		your database had children at the age of 98. Based on
		common sense, such a record would indicate an
		error. However, it is not a consistency error in the
		database. Besides, someone might have a child at the
		age of 98 (although this rarely happens). The Verify
		tool will display everything that violates your
		criteria so that you can check whether the record is
		erroneous or not. The ultimate decision is yours.
