Gramps has been designed for expansion. The Plugin (a.k.a. Plug-in, addon, extension) framework provides a path for 3rd third party development outside the normal Gramps release distributions.

The documentation for each addon is maintained outside the flow of these main wiki chapters. The interface & and functionality of the software & and documentation may not conform with the styles seen throughout the rest of Gramps... although we encourage Developers to try to make their additions as seamless as possible.

A brief description & and screenshot of each addon can be found in the [[5.2_Addons#Addon_List|Addon List]] section of the wiki manual. The separately maintained documentation page for the addon is linked from the 1st column of that list.

Change the {{man label|Style sheet name:}} (<code>New Style</code>(default) field to a unique name as it will appear in {{man label|Document Options}} {{man label|Style:}} drop down list.

The Open and Save dialogs (File Chooser) for Gramps are based on the [https://docs.gtk.org/gtk3/iface.FileChooser.html GTK File Chooser]. Each operating system has expected behaviors for clicks, double-clicks, sorting, [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings#Handy_Shortcuts|keybindings]], environmental variables, and standard file locations that are characteristic of File Chooser dialogs native to the operating system. A few of these can be customized via the user interface to feel more similar to the OS native File Choosers. However, the idiosyncrasies of various OSes mean shared network folders and URI support may not be as readily browsed as when using the OS native File Choosers.

* '''Shortcuts''': can be provided by the Gramps application. For example, program may want to add a shortcut for a Downloads or Documents folder. Shortcuts ''cannot'' be added or removed by the user. The the 'Rename...' context menu option allows them to be relabeled.

Optionally, a text-entry address bar can be used to directly key-in or paste a path. Toggle between displaying breadcrumbs and the text-entry address bar with the {{Man key press|CTRL|L}} [[Gramps_5.2_Wiki_Manual_-_Keybindings|keybinding]].

The most idealistic situation is that you are as facile fluent in US English as the language selected for the operating system GUI on your computer. And that you would take the opportunity to translate that Gramps feature for users who are non-English speakers.

In Windows, use the SET command to rest change the LAN env LANG environment variable to "en_GB.UTF-8" for British English. You can do this from the command line interface or [https://gramps-project.org/bugs/view.php?id=11009 create a startup shortcut with the following Target]:

For Mac OS X macOS see [[Mac_OS_X:Application_package#Advanced_setup|Advanced setup]] for details on how the language is normally chosen, and how to choose a special, non-default setting for the language, the sorting order or the format of such things as day and month names and number separators.
