Grr...... just read the last few replies concerning font size. Starting to feel old and just might need a magnifying glass grrrr.....

Jeff, take a look at the Schedule. I think there could be a problem. On mine there is none anymore. You can clink on it but there is nothing there.

as of Rel 13...

My schedule graph is not there anymore. It just shows nothing upon loading a file. The schedule still exists, but the graph does not. If you need screenshots, i can give them to you.

as of Rel X (means I do not know when it started)

I can "accidently" sort the columns of the tables. This was by accident that i found it out, but the sorting should be disabled especially on the schedule table, since it is irreversible (unless you close the file without saving, and then reload), and messes with the functionality of the schedule.

cheers!

I found that mine disappeared when I added the batch step. Just curious. Remove your sparge step in the end and see if it comes back. Mine did.

Yes, you are right...

We found out that Jeff has a big can of Raid in another thread

Have the fonts been changed with release 1.013? Everything looks smaller...

Font looks better with 1.013

POssibly a result of using the Old Compiler??

Your guess is as good as mine. The new compiler caused me a lot of grief.

Not sure if this has been reported yet, but.....

Mac version 1.0.14 (OSX.4.x, MacBook Pro) -- In the Schedule view, if I click on Duplicate, the highlighted item isn't duplicated, but another different one is. Then pushing Command + Z to undo doesn't work unless I do it twice. The menu Undo command works on first try.

Also, small error in the Save Dialog box that comes up if you try to close the window without saving: Don't Save is missing the apostrophe.

Keep up the good work, guys!

Another problem I encountered today -- when I save a file, it shows up as a generic text file. I have to manually set it to open in BeerTools Pro. The extension is correct (.btp), but if I double click it, the file opens in a text editor, not BeerTools Pro.

One thing that I have noticed is that the rest periods do not always seem to calc the final temp after the rest period. For example when I set up the schedule and after the protein rest of 30 min the temp has dropped about 1 - 1.5 deg, but after an infusion and then set up another rest period for Sacch rest of 60 min then the program keeps the final temp at the goal temp for the infusion step. I did do the calibration steps for my mash tun, but did not do one for my brew pot to get the thermal properties. And both of these are listed in "vessels". The rest period schedule pop up does not give you the opportunity to select which vessel you are using. So I am wondering if the schedule is selecting the brewpot for calc thermal loss during rest periods.

The vessel used to calculate heat loss in a rest step is the last vessel selected in a transfer step or mash-in step. The vessel setting in the decoction step is for the vessel used to boil the removal. If a vessel is not selected at some point along the way in the schedule, heat loss will be zero for a rest step. This can be overridden by setting the final temperature manually in the rest step editor.

OK I see that now. I was not using the transfer schedule, just kind of assumed it was inherent. Dumb on my part.

I love the program and being able to play with different ingredients and styles to see how much each can add to a final recipe. Great job!!!

Hello

I notice when I start the soft 1.0.14, I must clic twice to have a full screen.
And then it's not correct positionning. I've alwys a 30 pixel free space on top, and in fact 30 pixel below under my status bar. I must clos the soft and then restart and no problem. I've my full screen.

Regards, Dom
