Brewtarget 1.2 - Free open source brewing software

[rocketman768]

the default on the edit system page is to delete on an enter key stroke apparently.

Crap. I thought I fixed all of those.

 

[chefmike]

That is why we test and retest, I guess!

I am really enjoying the new version... the export to text is GREAT! exactly what I needed.

I don't know about "all of those", but you did fix that one.

Thanks for the input... I may be crazy... but it does default to delete on enter...

if you do not create a new equipment system. As soon as you create a new system, it changes the default... but when you are editing a system that exists... the default is delete.

correct me if I am wrong.

I crashed it yesterday. I meant to click on the "Amount" box of my base malt and zero it, but accidentally clicked the "Type" box, backspaced to clear it, and hit enter before I realized what I had clicked on. Program froze and then crashed. Not a big deal as long as you don't do what I did though.

That used to be the default behavior, but he changed it sometime after 12/28/09. It now exits without saving, but doesn't delete. (Perhaps you need to download the package again.)

Hm. Double clicking there should've shown a drop down list. I'll take a look.

Pressing enter there should save your equipment and close the editor, or at least that's what happens when I do it.

Whats up with 82lbs. for the weight of a 10g Igloo cooler? That thing weighs like 15lbs.

I have a similar problem. The program recalculates the specific heat of my mash tun, falsely. Seems there is a problem with the program there? Hope this helps!

Lol. Thanks for pointing that out.

Ah, this is a bug. Thanks!

 

[BWRIGHT]

No problem. I've never used any software before. I'll let you know if I see anything else. I'm sure I'll have some more questions too.

 

[C2H5OH]

I tried this, and it didn't work. I have Mac 10.6.2. Anyone with thoughts on this or similar experience?

 

[craigd]

I still haven't been able to get it working on Mac intel Leopard with 1.2. 1.1 worked fine once I got the QT installed. I tried installing the latest QT libraries and tried installing in a new location but it just opens and closes immediately saying it quit unexpectedly. BTW, it is working fine on my Mac 10.4 G4 system.

 

[damdaman]

Forgive me if this question has already been dealt with (I haven't read every page of this thread), but I just attempted to install this and it is not working. I have successfully installed Qt 4.6 (the latest version), yet BrewTarget crashes when I try to load it and the report gives this error:

Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: QtDBus.framework/Versions/4/QtDBus
Referenced from: /Users/damdaman/Desktop/Misc/Brewtarget.app/Contents/MacOS/Brewtarget
Reason: image not found

Any ideas? Mac OS X 10.5.8

This is the same error as craigd is getting. Seems very strange, especially since it works on some systems, but not others. I don't know what's wrong yet, but I'm working to figure it out.

 

[rocketman768]

It seems that Qt 4.5 and 4.6 have an issue that the "cocoa" version of the framework does not include the QtDBus libraries for mac, due to a packaging error. There has been a fix submitted for the next Qt version 4.6.1 which is due to be out "early 2010." I'm really sorry about this guys Let me see if there's a way I can get you the libraries or something.

Hey don't worry about it, it was Qt's fault, not your's. Thanks for the response and taking the time to make open source brewing software. I'll see if I can find an older 4.5 version of Qt.

 

[TheAleMaster]

Ok. Good. I thought I botched the Qt install or downloaded the wrong thing. Thanks.

 

[damdaman]

Here is the link to downlaod Qt 4.5 for those of us who don't want to wait for them to release the patch.

I have been using BeerSmith on a trial basis and was dreading the day I would have fork out the cash for the program. Then I found the original thread and followed it through to this one. I waited for a while before I downloaded BrewTarget, but finally did so yesterday... I love it! This is great! Thanks to RocketMan and all of the others who are developing this fantastic piece of open source software.

:rockin:

 

[rushbattle]

I downloaded brewsmith to try out and compare with Brewtarget. Well, brewsmith is more fleshed out, but Brewtarget is a better design. Just a few more additions and it will be on par with brewsmith, and then a bit more and it will be definitely better. The only problem I have had with it is the temperature calcs for the mash because of the small bug in the mashtun equation somewhere.

 

[rushbattle]

Also, can we donate money to help with the program? If I was a programmer, I would definitely help out, but I am a scientist and businessman, no coding for me!

Yeah, of course! There's a link that says "Donate" in the upper right of the main page. Donations are very welcome. I could also use an upgraded membership

I downloaded the program and it opened with WinZip. When I double click brewtarget.exe to launch the install, I get the error message:

brewtarget.exe - Unable to Locate Component
"This application has failed to start because mingwm10.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem"

Well I reinstalled three times and am getting the same error.... any help?

You need to extract the whole folder to somewhere before trying to execute. brewtarget.exe is the actual program, and not an installer.

 

[masonsjax]

I installed in linux via the tarball. It worked great after I copied the xml files from /usr/local/share/brewtarget/ into my ~/.config/brewtarget/ (or whatever the paths are). Before doing that I was getting some DB not found errors. Thanks

When I extracted the files into the folder on the Desktop, I figured I would move the BrewTarget icon out of the folder onto the Desktop with all of the other shortcuts and I got a similar message when I double-clicked on the icon. When I moved it back into the folder and launched the program from there it ran fine. I imagine there is a workaround for this, but as long as the program works, all is ok.

You can't move it out of it's directory. You can right click it and "send to desktop as shortcut" or whatever if you like.

Of course... and it works great... definitely had a senior moment...
thanks again Rocketman
