Introduction

Gramps does not currently do much to help with managing media. Currently, the user must add the media to the file system, and then reference it in Gramps.

Problems:

  • merging distributed versions with alternate media (different, edited, new, deleted) is manually done by user
  • media added to file system directories may be missing and hard to detect (see Media Manager tool, though)
  • media can't currently be dragged and dropped on Gramps
  • not all media need exist on the file system; how to handle URI's like http, ftp?
  • gramps webapp needs to be able to store imported images in a special place

Proposed Solution

Solution should keep current use in place.
