Package: gramps Version: 4.2.3~dfsg-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream Dear Maintainer,
this is really a feature request for upstream, but since i don't want to register with their bugtracker i report it here. please forward this wishlist. * What led up to the situation? often i find myself adding a bunch of new information that are connected "somehow", usually because i just got access to a new "Source". e.g. i just got the birth-certificate of Foo Bar, and this certificate contains information about Foo's parents and grand-parents and their whereabouts. so i find myself adding (resp. updating) information about 7 persons and up to 5 events, all based on this single document. for each of these updates i would like to add a proper "citation" reference to cross-link to that birth-certificate. now the trouble i'm facing is that for each of these updates i have to navigate my list of hundreds of sources/citations and find the same reference again and again. the various "search" functions are not that helpful, as they require me to rapidly shift between keyboard and mouse. esp. with source/citations and the tree-view this is really tiresome, as i find myself opening/closing the same items repeatedly. what i'd really love to have instead was a quick "last N citations used" (probably with N<=5 or so) right under my mouse, so i can easily re-select that citation without having to search for it first. i guess this could be generalized to *any* reference (making a consistent interface: usability++). thanks for your consideration. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages gramps depends on: ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.20.3-1 ii librsvg2-2 2.40.15-1 ii python3-bsddb3 6.1.0-1+b2 ii python3-gi 3.20.0-2 ii python3-gi-cairo 3.20.0-2 pn python3:any <none> ii xdg-utils 1.1.1-1 Versions of packages gramps recommends: ii gir1.2-gexiv2-0.10 0.10.3-2 ii gir1.2-osmgpsmap-1.0 1.1.0-1 ii graphviz 2.38.0-13 ii python3-icu 1.9.2-2+b2 Versions of packages gramps suggests: ii fonts-freefont-ttf 20120503-4 pn gir1.2-goocanvas-2.0 <none> ii gir1.2-gtkspell3-3.0 3.0.8-1 ii python3-pil 3.2.0-1 ii rcs 5.9.4-3 -- no debconf information
