Do I understand right, that Gramps can automatically create .gramps or .gpkg files by itself, unprompted? That would be very useful, and I think an earlier version may have done this, as I have some of those files in my working directory. But none have been produced for a couple of years. I looked, but I couldn't find anywhere to turn this feature back on.
