Translate ingredients

Check this if you like ingredients to be translated or not.

Volume unit

Set the volume unit used in the places volume is presented.

Overrun

The estimated overrun. Overrun can not be calculated automatically so to be able to estimate the final ice cream volume you have to manually type in the overrun. Overrun can also be changed in the main dialog and in the overrun dialog.

Nutrients per/

In Europe for example the nutrient data is always presented per 100g but in other countries the nutrient data is presented on a per portion weight. So, here you can change how the nutrient data is presented in for example the Nutrients dialog.

Adjust for overrun

If this checkbox is checked the serving temp calculations will be adjusted slightly with the amount of overrun. An ice cream with more overrun is softer compared to an ice cream with less overrun.

Temperature

Affects how temperature is presented in the charts and freezing curves.

Check for updates

Press this button to manually check for a new version.

Autosize recipe table

If this checkbox is checked the recipe will always auto size to show all ingredients in the recipe. If it is unchecked the size of the recipe table is fixed and can be resized by the split bar in the main dialog.

Load last recipe at startup

If this is checked the last active recipe will be loaded when starting the calculator.

Show recipe locked warnings

Here you can turn off the warnings for locked recipes.

Enable scripts

Enable and edit the LUA script. The script can be used to create your own data items. Note, for simple data items you should use the formulas in the Data dialog instead and just use the script for more advanced calculations. More info in the Scripts dialog and the Data dialog.

Automatic backups

Here you can enable and setup automatic backups of all you ingredients and recipes. The automatic backup will take one backup per day and keep 20 backups. The backups are a ZIP file containing the data folder and is placed in the folder supplied here.

Restore a backup

To restore a backup you open the backup folder and just unzip the ZIP file you like to restore. Close the calculator and copy all the files to the current Data folder and restart the calculator.

Data folder

This is where all you data is stored. When changing this folder you will get a question when the settings dialog is closed if you like to copy the current data to the new folder (if it is an empty folder).

Place data folder with executable

This will place the data folder together with your executable. This enables you to for example keep the calculator on an USB drive. Note! You need read/write permissions to this folder for this to work.

Login password

You can set a PIN code that must be entered to start the calculator.
Check the PIN checkbox and press the Set PIN code button to enter a PIN code. Every time you start the calculator you will have to enter the PIN code. Important! If you forget the PIN code you will not be able to start the calculator. Contact support for information how to reset the password.

User variables

Here you can define up to six user defined variables used in the ingredients. This enables you to customize the system with more data. It could be to use the calculator for something totally different from ice cream or it could be to add more detailed data on ice cream.
