When \fIFILE\fR is given (without any flags) as a family tree name or as
a family tree database directory, then it is opened and an interactive
session is started. If FILE is a file format understood by GRAMPS, an empty
family tree is created whose name is based on the \fIFILE\fP name
and the data is imported into it. The rest of the
options is ignored. This way of launching is suitable for using gramps
as a handler for genealogical data in e.g. web browsers. This invocation
can accept any data format native to gramps, see below.
