This database resides in the import_db.grdb under ~/.gramps/import directory. If no -o or -a options are given, gramps will launch its main window and start the usual interactive session with the database resulted fromĪll imports.

If no -O or -i option is given, gramps will launch its main window and start the usual interactive session with the empty database, since The actual order always is: all imports (if any) -> all actions (if any) ->Īll exports (if any). The order of -i, -o, or -a options does not matter. With or without the -O flag, there could be multiple imports, exports, and actions specified further on the command line by using -i, If the -O flag is given, then gramps will try opening the supplied file name and then work with that data, as instructed by the further command line no flag), gramps will attempt to open the file with the name given by the firstĪrgument and start interactive session, ignoring the rest of the command line arguments. If the first argument on the command line does not start with dash (i.e. The actions are performed one by one, in the specified order. When more than one output action is given, each has to be preceded by -a flag. Use the above options to find out everything about a given report. This will print the description of the functionality supplied by optionname, as well as what are the acceptable types and values for this option. This will produce the list of names for all options available for a given report.

Will be printed followed by the list of available reports. If the supplied report_name does not correspond to any available report, the error message This mandatory option determines which report will be generated. Most of the report options are specific for every report. Different pairs must be separated by commas. Withing a pair, option name and value must be separated by the equality sign. If some arguments need to include spaces, the string should be enclosed with quotation marks. The report option string should satisfy the following conditions: Currently available actions are summary (sameĪs Reports->View->Summary), check (same as Tools->Database Processing->Check and Repair), and report (generates report, needs the This is done after all imports are successfully completed. a,-action= ACTION Perform ACTION on the imported data. The files are written one by one, in the specified order. When more than one output file is given, each has to be preceded by -o flag. Grdb, gramps-xml, gedcom, wft, gramps-pkg, and geneweb, the FILE is the name of the resulting file.
GRAMPS IMPORT GEDCOM ISO
For iso format, the FILE is actually the name of directory the gramps database will be written into. i FILE1 -i FILE2 and -i FILE2 -i FILE1 might produce different gramps IDs in the resulting database. The files are imported in the specified order, i.e. When more than one input file is given, each has to be preceded by -i flag. If you need to combine data from several sources, you will need to use the import option. Option which will set up the empty database and then import data into it. For other formats, you will need to use the import Only grdb, gramps-xml, and gedcom formats can be opened directly.

This invocation can accept any data format native to gramps, Launching is suitable for using gramps as a handler for genealogical data in e.g. Options gramps FILE When FILE is given (without any flags) then it is opened and an interactive session is started. The ever popular GEDCOM format which is used world wide by almost all other genealogy software. Used other genealogy programs before such as Family Tree Maker (TM), Personal Ancestral Files (TM), or the GNU Geneweb. Gramps should seem familiar to anyone who has It is written in Python, using the GTK+/GNOME interface. Gramps is a Free/OpenSource genealogy program.
