Rating

Revisions

The merge and split buttons are part of the revision handling system. Recipes can have multiple revisions. Say you make different versions or tweaks to a recipe this usually means you create multiple recipes Vanilla1, Vanilla2 etc…When using revisions you can merge all these versions of a recipe and the older versions are stored as revisions. The recipe list will be cleaner and easier to read. So in the Vanilla case you will just have one recipe Vanilla with two revisions. The number of revisions for a recipe is shown in the list.

Merge

So, merge will merge the selected recipes and create one recipe with these recipes as different revisions. This is mostly used to be able to handle multiple recipes before the revision system was added to the calculator.

Split

Split will remove all revisions of a recipe and add them back to the database as individual recipes.

Database groups

At the bottom of the dialog you can manage database groups. Each recipe belongs to a group and you can create new groups to better manage your recipes. You can for example have one group called “Production” where you put your production ready recipes and one group called “Test” where you put recipes that you are developing and testing.
The Select from drop down lets you filter the list by selecting a group.
Then you have buttons to Assign a group to selected recipes.
You also have Add/Remove buttons to add and remove groups. When removing a group all recipes in that group are added to the default “Unassigned” group, so they are not deleted!
