      This version allows direct opening and editing of &app; XML and GEDCOM

      <para>While direct opening of a &app; XML or GEDCOM file is convenient

      If you experience this, please consider creating a new native (grdb) database

      your data much more efficient and quick.

      <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>

      selecting an appropriate file.</para>
      
      <para>&app; database (grdb), &app; XML, and &app; package are

      <variablelist>

      <varlistentry><term>&app; database (grdb)</term>
      <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).
      </para></listitem>
      </varlistentry>

      <varlistentry><term>&app; XML</term>
      <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></menuchoice>) or exporting (<menuchoice>
      <guimenu>File</guimenu><guimenuitem>Export...</guimenuitem>

      The package is a compressed archive containing the &app; XML
      file and all media objects (images, sound files, etc.) that the

      <tip id="import-tip"><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.</para></tip>
      
      <para>After choosing an import format, you will be prompted with the

        <listitem><para> Yellow circle means that the date is valid but is
        not a regular date. This could be the date of an alternative type:
        a before date (before May 25, 1962), an after date (after May, 1960),
        an about date (about May 23, 1961), a range (between May 1, 1961 and May 31, 1961),
        or a span (from May 1, 1961 to May 31, 1961). It can also be a complete
        single date, but with quality of Estimated or Calculated. Finally, it could
        be a partial date, i.e. a regular quality single date missing some
        portion, e.g. May 1961 or 1961.</para>
        
        <para>While partial dates do 
        not uniquely define the day, they allow at least for some type of

        <listitem><para> Red circle means that the date is not recognized as 
        a valid date (e.g. "Christmas week of 61", or "the summer when I had surgery"). 
        n that case the date will be stored as a text string. Therefore, no comparison
        with other dates will be available. It is best to avoid such date entries. Same 
        information can be entered as a note for the event of interest instead
        of a date. In the example considered, a better things to do is to

	<para> 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>

	View, the display is re-adjusted to show four generations, starting 
	from the newly selected Active person. When in the Pedigree View, you

	the active person, click the left arrow button to the left of the

	<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>

	double-clicking the lines connecting to the left of the corresponding
	boxes for father and mother. </para></listitem>

	<para> This section contains tools which may modify your database. 
	The modifications will only be performed upon your explicit consent. 
	The tools from this section are used mostly for finding and correcting
	errors in the data. The following database processing tools are 
	currently available in &app;:</para>

	<variablelist>

 	<varlistentry><term>Check and repair database</term>
	<listitem><para>This tool checks the database for integrity problems, 
	fixing the problems it can. Specifically, the tool is checking for:</para>
	<itemizedlist>
		<listitem><para>Broken family links. These are the cases when 
		a person's record refers to a family while the family's record 
		does not refer to that person, and vice versa.
		</para></listitem>

		<listitem><para>Missing media objects. The missing media 
		object is the object whose file is referenced in the database 
		but does not exist. This can happen when the file is 
		accidentally deleted, renamed, or moved to another location.
		</para></listitem>

		<listitem><para>Empty families. These are the family entries 
		which have no reference to any person as their member. 
		</para></listitem>

		<listitem><para>Parent relationship. This checks all families
		to ensure that father and mother are not mixed up. The check 
		is also made that parents have different gender. If they have 
		common gender then their relationship is renamed to "Partners".
		</para></listitem>

	<title>Utilities</title> 
	<para> </para>

 	<para> This section contains tools allowing you to perform a simple 
	operation on a portion of data. The results can be saved in your
	database, but they will not modify your existing data. 
	The following utilities are currently available in &app;:</para>

	<variablelist>

 	<varlistentry><term>Custom Filter Editor</term>
	<listitem><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;. </para>
	
	<para>Clicking the <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> button invokes the 
	following <guilabel>Define filter</guilabel> dialog: </para>
	
 	<!-- ==== Figure: Define filter dialog ==== -->

	<!-- ==== End of Figure ==== -->

	<para> Type the name for your new filter into the 
	<guilabel>Name</guilabel> field. Enter any comment that would help you
	identify this filter in the future into the <guilabel>Comment</guilabel>
	field. Add as many rules to the <guilabel>Rule list</guilabel> as you
	would like to your filter using <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> button. 
	Check <guilabel>Return values that do not match the filter rules
	(invert)</guilabel> to negate the filter rule (e.g. inverting "has a
	common ancestor with I1" rule will match everyone who does not have a
	common ancestor with that person). If the filter has more than one rule, 
	select one of the <guilabel>Rule operations</guilabel>. This allows you
	to 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. </para>
	
	<para> Clicking the <guibutton>Add...</guibutton> button invokes the 
	following <guilabel>Add Rule</guilabel> dialog:</para>

 	<!-- ==== Figure: Add Rule dialog ==== -->

	<para>The pane on the left-hand side displays available filter rules 
        arranged by their categories in an expandable tree. For detailed filter 
        rule reference, see <xref 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. </para>
        
        <para> Note that a filter you've 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). </para></listitem>

 	<varlistentry><term>Verify the database</term>
	<listitem><para>This utility allows you to verify the database based 
	on the set of criteria specified by you. This tool is different from 
	the previously described Check tool in the following. The Check tool
	detects inconsistencies in the database structure. The Verify tool, 
	however, is detecting the records that do not satisfy your particular 
	criteria. </para>

	<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 of 
	98 (albeit 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.
