Custom Filter migration Keep your collection of custom filters through a minor updates to patch Gramps (e.g., from version 5.1.0 to 5.1.2) by manually copying your custom_filter.xml from Gramps User Directory to the corresponding directory in new gramps_version_number. |
You can keep your custom settings by manually copying each of the *.xml
files from the Gramps User Directory to the corresponding directory in the new gramps_version_number directory. Beware that due to changes in newer versions of Gramps the settings may no longer work, so be sure to test.
Description
Transclusion template. Inserts a Work-In-Progress chunk of text about information not included in Backups that are important when migrating data.
(Since the content was replicated several times, it makes sense to have a master copy that only needs to be edited once. Once the data is finalized, the Template can be permanently substituted via subclusion. Alternatively, a separate page may created and links could replace this transclusion.)
Usage
insert the following line on the page:
