    4 Suggestions for improvement

    First, thank you so very much for the "page break" feature for printing recipies....that was a must for sure!

    A few other things that would be helpful:


    1.  When you add a new measurement, such as "can (10.5 oz)" that is not listed in your programe, it would be nice for Big Oven to automatically memorize it and include it in the auto fill for future entries.

    2.  Please add a search feature that allows searching by "Source"

    3.  It would be nice to have a complete customize tags option.  So we can remove Big Oven tags that are not useful, and categorize our custom tags in the appropriate categories. 

    4. Also, it would be nice to have an "edit" button on the "My Custom Tags" feature.  Right now, there is just "Add" and "Delete".  This way if you want to rename a tag, you dont have to re-tag existing recipies.

    All are good ideas, but #4 is one I've never thought of before! I hope they implement all of these suggestion!

    I'll throw in an extra vote for #3. There are a lot of tags I don't have much need for.

    I vote for this one. Yes

    3.  It would be nice to have a complete customize tags option.  So we can remove Big Oven tags that are not useful, and categorize our custom tags in the appropriate categories. 

    Maybe gray them out and list them closer together, but not get rid of them completely. The problem with not having them show is that one would forget what the standard tags are. It's good to have standard tags, so that recipe categorization can be more consistent.

    Idea Now, an interesting idea would be to have supplementary tags that could be input by the user. For instance, let's say you don't want to use the tag "picnics" and would rather use "outdoors". Have a feature where you could indicate the tag "picnics = outdoors". This would preserve the standard public tag "picnics" while adding your personal tag "outdoors" to the item. And it would change the tags in imported recipes to match your choice.

    4. Also, it would be nice to have an "edit" button on the "My Custom Tags" feature.  Right now, there is just "Add" and "Delete".  This way if you want to rename a tag, you dont have to re-tag existing recipies.

    I definitely vote for this one!  Yes Yes

    Re: 4 Suggestions for improvement

    I would modify #2 to make the request that we can search by ANY/ALL fields in BigOven. What's the point of putting data IN if we cannot search by it?

    (Also, please expand the capacity of the SOURCE box!)

    I agree, please make the SOURCE box larger. Some of us use URLs as "sources".
