Howdy!
Thx but that was done before I find this bug.
So n fact I've per default now the EBC color chart, but the bug is always here... I use version 1.05

Hi dj..

I see what you mean about the Extract Editor not showing the correct value in the details box. When EBC is selected, it still shows SRM in the details box. Perhaps Jeff can look into this matter. Thanks!

That's exactly what I mean.
Sorry for my english... I've learn it by myselft.

Not sure if this is a bug but I've noticed that changing the values in the "Date" or "Author" fields does not enable the "Save" option in the "File" menu (v1.0.5).

EDIT: Some other things I've found while setting up templates that may or may not be features:-)

1) I've found that opening a template directly causes BTP to crash with no warning. I was trying to edit the template directly. I'm assuming that to edit a template with v1.0.5 I need to load it into a session, edit it and then save it back as a template after reselecting the parts of the session I only need for the template?

2) The carbonation type has reset to "Natural Conditioning" after loading into a session for templates that were saved with the "Forced Carbonation" setting. This behaviour is different from a normal session (BTP remembers the carbonation type).

Ok, the crash is definitely not an intended behavior. Would you be willing to send me your template and I can identify the problem? Thanks!

Re: evaporation doesn't match boil volumes

I have a kettle volume of 6.5 gal. and I expect a final volume of 5.5 gal.
I type in 6.5 gal, set the boil at 1 hr, then start dialing up the evaporation rate. At 11.9% Evap/hr, I get 0.77 gal. lost but 5.5 gal is listed as the final vol.

6.5-0.77=5.5??
Is there anything listed in the Volume Added box?

There originally was 1 gal in Volume Added, when I noticed the discrepency, but these numbers were from after that was removed.

It looks like the discrepency can be accounted for as 4% shrinkage, however.
I'm just don't know if that's accurate, as the 6.5 gal was measured at about 150

Have tried setting the BTP vessel calibration to flat settings (zero temp drops) and can only get to within a degree. Have previously used the other two, Beersmith temps have always been correct for my gear. Any ideas :?: BTP adjusts the temp down when the calibration of the vessel is set for losses, would have thought this was the wrong way round.

Cheers
Using which version of BTP?
Thanks Jeff ver 1.0.6.105

I didn't have the window opening above the toolbar problem before (that I noticed), but have it now with 1.0.8.

It happens when I have one recipe open then open a second recipe through the toolbar Open command. The second window opens with everything down to about the Author window above the toolbar.

Font sizes too big

This problem has been in existence ever since i first bought a copy of BTP. It seems that when the words are bold, they spill over outside the text/label control area, masking out some of the words. On some other dialog boxes, it is even worse because i think whole words are being left out.

I have tried monkeying around with the windows font sizes and such, but nothing has really helped. I am running a 1920 x 1200 screen, which probably has something to do with it. In this day and age, this screen size is probably not too uncommon.

thx!

I haven't seen that happen before, what is your system font? It seems that all of the text in the menus and text fields is too big too.

I have figured out what is causing this problem. I have my display DPI setting set at 120 instead of the normal 96 (under Settings/Advanced/General). This is so I can view things a little easier on this hi-res monitor. I could revert back to 96 to make BTP look normal, but it is too hard on the eyes.

There are ways to program around this, but I am not sure if there is an easy solution (I guess it depends on what language the program is written.)

As I understand it, this is becoming more and more of a problem in this high-resolution-monitor world

thx.

Ok, I will look into this. I wasn't aware of the resolution setting. Thanks for the heads up!
