Re-sync'ing versions of a Gramps database

Rate this Message:
My database is on two machines, a laptop I take away with me and a desktop.
I suspect I may have made some small changes in each that are not reflected in the other and am wondering how to check. I was thinking of exporting them both as CSV and then comparing the files by, say, 'xxdiff' . However, what elements of the databases would *not* be exported in CSV (apart from media, of course)?

You could export the databases to gramps files. If you unzip them they
are just XML. Then you could do the diff as you suggest. doug wrote: > My database is on two machines, a laptop I take away with me and a desktop. > I suspect I may have made some small changes in each that are not > reflected in the other and am wondering how to check. > > I was thinking of exporting them both as CSV and then comparing the > files by, say, 'xxdiff' . > However, what elements of the databases would *not* be exported in CSV > (apart from media, of course)? > > Doug > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.

Actually, it is easier to say what *is* exported in the Spreadsheet export, as it only exports a few items: People: Names: Surname, Given, Call, Suffix, Prefix, Title Gender Birth date, Birth place Death date, Death place Marriages: Husband/Father Gramps ID Wife/Mother Gramps ID Marriage event: Date, Place Family: Family Gramps ID, Child Gramps ID The Csv export/import wasn't designed to do what you want. In fact Gramps can't really do what you want currently. I am very careful not to enter data into any place except my One True Family Tree for exactly this reason. But if you find yourself here, you should try comparing the Xml exports (Gramps type) and compare the XML data. (There is also a Raw export, for really low-level compares, but you probably will be fine with the XML comparison.) -Doug > > Doug > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day > trial.

I'm normally very careful that the more recent version completely contains the earlier one; but I got a bit confused through also installing the whole caboodle on a new machine, the third, which is also running a more recent version of the operating system! > > But if you find yourself here, you should try comparing the Xml > exports (Gramps type) and compare the XML data.
