So it's finally here:
serving multiplier
I know it took a while, but there were tons of changes under the covers that I needed to make so
PLEASE if you find a bug, head over to the
forum and report it, or post a comment here.
So as you can see here, there is a new textbox on the right. This box is for the serving multiplier and it defaults to "1". When you record a food entry, the point value will be multiplied by the number of servings. All checklist items will be multiplied as well, so make sure that they are set to a value for a single serving.
The bar underneath is a quick slide serving picker that will move in increments of 0.5 from 0 to 4. If you need more servings, or a different fraction, you can edit the text box directly.
There's also been a fix to the barcode scanner. It will now remember
the descriptions and point values for items you scan and save. On next scan, it will autofill all point a checklist values for any saved barcode.
If the multipler is anything other than 1, descriptions will now have an " x #" suffix that will show you that you had # servings of an item. This text is not stored in the food description, so if you have older entries for something like "Wine x 2" you'll probably need to edit it.
I'll be working on a way to present a list of all food descriptions so that you can edit or delete them to help clean up older entries that are unwanted. For now, unless you want to go back and edit each occurance of an item you want to change, you'll see them pop up in the suggestion list if any past day had recorded that entry.
So there you have it. If you like these changes and you haven't donated yet, please consider sending some loose change my way via the donate button on the right side of the blog.
Experimental barcode support!
