Hi Peter, thanks for the edit, but be-aware that most descriptions of what the option do are taken directly from the tooltip when you hover over it and it allows translators to quickly work out what needs to be added, so typically if you believe this tooltip needs to change you need to change Gramps code first!  [[User:Patsyblefebre|Patsy B Lefebre]] ([[User talk:Patsyblefebre|talk]]) 21:00, 3 June 2021 (UTC)

Tooltips

Hi Peter, thanks for the edit, but be-aware that most descriptions of what the option do are taken directly from the tooltip when you hover over it and it allows translators to quickly work out what needs to be added, so typically if you believe this tooltip needs to change you need to change Gramps code first!

Patsy, this Typographical conventions page shows that hint text (aka tooltips ) should be marked with the tooltip template {{man tooltip|hint text}}, but the template only looks to have been recently created(last year by Bamaustin, so the user manual needs to be updated to use that template I suppose?

In the backup section, it states that export is the safest method. How is this better than a manual or automatic backup? If the backup methods are not as good as an export in some way, perhaps the backup method should be improved? --Peterhewett (talk) 20:17, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
