For Times, Paprika only has Cook, Prep, and Total times. (Note, you cannot make batch changes for individual categories in MGD so be careful.)Ģ. I created new categories for those fields in MGD and assigned them manually. The special fields of Course, Cuisine, Prepared, Keywords, Equipment did not. However, I ran into a number of issues of lost information.ġ. I, too, finally grew tired of several years of "we expect to release an update for MGD this year." I bought Paprika during their annual Black Friday sale. So now we know - Mariner seem to have abandoned a once great piece of software ?. The software isn't under maintenance at this time. Hi, you might want to look for an alternative. Any information you can provide about updates will be welcomed by your patient users. Hiya, what is happening with MacGourmet Deluxe? Are we likely to see a new version soon with the syncing issues resolved? Are you even supporting this software any more? I absolutely love MacGourmet Deluxe, but if it is no longer being supported, I will start looking for an alternative to use. I finally give up and contacted them via Messenger. I have tried contacting them via their Facebook page on numerous occasions, as have many other users, asking for a progress on the syncing issues. I stuck with it despite the various syncing issues as they promised they were working on a fix. I absolutely love the program and use it to store all of my recipes. I too have been a MacGourmet and now MacGourmet Deluxe user for a decade. I am not happy with Recipe Keeper and would love your input on what you like about Paprika and if there are any similarities to the issues I've mentioned here. For the purpose of using it as a family cookbook it let me do what I needed to do and it was pretty straightforward and had a cleaner look about it. But the few things that I am really frustrated about with Recipe Keep, are probably considered pretty petty to others.ġ) when the recipes transferred from MacGourmet to Recipe Keeper it changed all the measurements to funky abbreviations, i.e, slice is now "sl" and sprig is now "sp" Tablespoon is now tb.Ģ) Recipe Keeper did not transfer all of my Sourcesģ) If I want to enter my own new recipe in Recipe Keeper I was hoping there were similar columns, like Quantities, Measurements, Descriptions, Directions.Ĥ) Recipe Keeper did not transfer the little description or introduction I made for some of my recipes, i.e, "Everyone in the family liked this. I am not interested in all the fancy options to take pictures and/or download/upload (whatever it's called), but I know that is a common option among software today. My son suggested I transfer the recipes to "Recipe Keeper". I have been using Macgourmet for over a decade and just bought a Macbook Air. It has allowed me to do a current export of my last weeks edits as well as my previously backed up recipes.Ĭlick to expand.I am very interested in your thoughts about Paprika. But I figured I should post this incase someone else had a problem getting in. After the pain of this SECOND upgrade screw up with MacGourmet, and the lack of resources they are apparently putting into keeping up with the Mac updates, I am going over to Paprika for future recipes. It is found in the Documents folder (typically, unless you have changed it). The database name is MacGourmet4Database.mgdatabase. trying to launch the software, i clicked on the database folder.I still got the error, but this time the recipes were in the window and I was able to keep it open enough to export it all to a RTF. This time, everything was greyed out.and I could not select library.Īfter emailing them, receiving no reply back after 2 days, and clicking on random recipes I had found on my harddrive. Last time, I was able to point the library (under help) to the location of the database. As I sorted out my own solution to this problem, I figured I would let you know what worked for me.Īfter upgrading to Big Sur, the "Database could not be found". I had read about the previous problem with the library not knowing where the database here on MacRumors, and it helped me get to where I needed to go. This time it got worse.but I found a work around.ironically the day AFTER I needed my Irish Soda Bread recipe, but I do digress. i have been using Mac Gourmet for years.and the last time i upgraded, I had issues getting to my recipes.
