New gramplet that filters the Person view by the names of relatives (father, mother, spouse, siblings, children) rather than just the active person's own attributes. Ported from the gramps61 addon (gramps-project#987) for the 5.2 target. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

@GaryGriffin this should also work on 5.1, if you alter the gpr.py file. |
…wiki page help_url pointed at Addon:AdvancedPersonFilter, a different addon name left over from this addon's origin, instead of Addon:PersonRelationshipFilter. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
Port of the PersonRelationshipFilter gramplet (#987) to the
maintenance/gramps52branch, targetinggramps_target_version="5.2".A new gramplet, Relationship Filter, that drops into the Person view's Gramplet bar as a sidebar-style filter. Unlike the built-in Person filter (which only matches on the active person's own attributes), this one searches by the names of relatives:
Each name field is split into given-name and surname boxes searched independently (substring or regex), and results combine into a single
GenericFilterapplied to the Person view.Motivation
The stock Person sidebar filter can't answer "find people whose mother is named X" or "find the children of someone named Y" — you have to know the target person's own name or ID. This gramplet lets you search on that relationship directly instead of navigating the tree by hand.
