Now that the Report Generator is producing something very close to what I want to publish as a Web resource for my family I have started to use the privacy filter to try to disguise or hide most of the living people. (I want an 'opt in' not an 'opt out' policy for relatives).

However I am experiencing some difficulty in getting the filters to do what I want. vis:

1) When one or more partners in a 'union' or marriage are filtered to some extent I want the marriage details also to be filtered. I believe this has been requested elsewhere. There is no 'inheritance' filter from individuals to families so the only way I've found is to select each such family in turn at set an explicit privacy filter. This is time-consuming and error prone and I suggest defeats the object of global filters by requiring manual intervention rather than automatic filtering.

2) I would like some living individuals to appear on the report but unchecking the 'apply privacy profile for living and deceased individual' box seems to have no effect whether or not 'public' is checked or not. I believe Anna reported this.

3) I would like children of a 'filtered' individual, whether they are alive or dead, not to be shown on the family page or SVG map but still be included the child counts for their parents. Currently if living children are filtered by deletion then only dead children are included in their parents count. This results in an untrue statement in the report.

4) If an individuals name has been blanked it is shown as <unknown>. I would prefer a distinction between unknown and filtered. i.e. show as <not disclosed>, <withheld> or <private> etc. In genealogy we strive to stick to the facts, in this case <unknown> is untrue.

I am interested to hear if and how others are using the privacy filters and their views on the above (plus any solutions!)

A 'quick fix' might be to flag individuals and families that have had a filter applied via properties in the Report Generator. Work-arounds could be be coded in the templates.
