Export crashes after exporting archive
The export database feature fails to terminate after having exported the database archive. The workaround is to click "x" the kill button in the top corner of the main gramps window, which stops everything. The exported archive should be correct.
Trying to look at the pedigree is not a good idea
Clicking on the pedigree view gets
1713: ERROR: gramps.py: line 160: Unhandled exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/trial2/gtk/inst/share/gramps/DataViews/PedigreeView.py", line 187, in realize self.context = self.window.cairo_create() Error: NULL pointer
which keeps going forever until I pick "force quit" from the apple menu and kill the python. Then when I restart gramps from the command line again, it just leaps into executing the same error again, and again, and again. I think that's because gramps starts up trying to display the pedigree view again, and it always crashes in the same way. I can't find the particular file to edit to change the startup view. I just did rm -rf .gramps to fix it, which destroys the entire gramps database. To work around losing the database, unset edit - preferences - Remember last view displayed in gramps before clicking on the pedigree view. At least then you don't have to delete the database.
