gramps/topola: where is the file stored that the local webserver uses? #136
-
|
I am using Topola Viewer from gramps (on Windows; GRAMPS: AIO64-5.1.4-1 ) as "Interactive family tree". gramps “Interactive family tree” creates a gedcom file, does a bit of post processing on the gedom file, then starts a web server, then uses topoloa-viewer to view the gedcom file. So I'm guessing that there's a temporary gedcom file stored somewhere on the local machine? Where is the (temporary) gedcom file stored (within the gramps environment/on the local machine/filestore - as it’s clearly stated that no data is exported?), so it must presumably be somewhere local for the local webserver. TIA |

%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Temp. The name of the file is random generated hash with 12 characters and file doesn't have an extension, but when you open it in notepad it looks like regular gedcom file.
