  • The Options tab is displayed with the following:
    • Category Filter: single image mode or male/female/unknown
    • Unknown Image Selection: image used for all people with option single image mode or people with unknown gender with option male/female/unknown
    • Male Image Selection: image for males (only used with option male/female/unknown)

Once you have made your choices the image or images that should be attached as avatar images, you can either choose Close or Execute to apply the change.

Tips

Predefined person filters like 'whole database' or 'ancestors of person X' as well as custom person filters like 'persons with tag Y' are used for filtering. By filtering different person groups or ancestor lines via person filters, it is possible to add different images to different lines of your ancestor tree. Please note that the Avatar Generator Tool only adds images to persons without media references within a selected group of people. Persons who already have media references are ignored.

Furthermore, it is possible to remove images from a group of filtered persons. In order to do so, the Avatar Generator Tool searches through the selected list of filtered people and removes the chosen image or images.
