Just by coincidence, I apparently did NOT have one selected in the TOP panel when I first tried it -- I guess it was just within the recipe ingredient list -- that would appear to be the only explanation for it being blank when I tried it.
Jeff/Lathe, this "Info" panel is a huge advance/improvement for BTP, as far as I'm concerned, which answers several suggestions and complaints -- at least that I've made -- such as the return of the old database and my request to list substitutes for hops in the top panel. I especially like the ability to resize and relocate the window so that I can put it over info I don't need at the time, like maybe the graphs at the bottom, and then cursor through the top panel list to successively display each page in the DB, and then still be able to right-click to add the ingredient, etc. Very nice feature. The only request/complaint that I have about it is that the text is just a tad bit small, so I hope that someday after you've worked through more important issues, that you will consider adding a user-selectable 'Text Size' in 'Preferences' for things such as the 'Info' panel and 'Notes' and anywhere else that it can vary without affecting the program and its layout.
Thanks.
