Hey Brad... v1.2 is great! Running very smoothly. Had two thoughts as I was working with the program this evening. One is small, but would be extremely helpful; the other is much larger, and would be cool but isn't essential.
The first thought: is there a way/possibility to make the pane focus follow the mouse? I use the scroll wheel on my mouse a lot. As I was looking through some recipes I downloaded from the site, I would click on the name of the recipe in the upper pane, and the actual recipe would appear in the bottom window... as it should. Obviously, you can't see the whole recipe/particulars at a glance, so you have to scroll. Well, in order to scroll in the lower pane, I'd actually have to click on it, then scroll. If I go back to the recipe list pane, I have to click again... ad infinitum. This applies elsewhere in the program as well. Obviously not essential, but would be a nice little workflow addition, if possible--a thought, anyway
The second thought: let's say I've got 400 recipes. I want to know which ones can be brewed with what I have in stock, or using a particular ingredient. So, what about a built in "find" or "search" feature that would allow the user to select an ingredient (or two, or three), and then recipes would be returned that contain those ingredients. Obviously, this is completely non-essential, but would be an extra-cool feature for the brewer who has tons of recipes, or is just feeling experimental.
As always, great work, and keep it up!
