Recipe Scribe 3.0.0
A complete rewrite of Recipe Scribe from Tkinter to PyQt6, plus two new features and a longstanding bug fix. This replaces the Tkinter version going forward — I don't plan further major development beyond bug fixes.
New Features
Categories — organize your recipes into categories, managed from Config > Manage Categories (add, rename, or remove). Pick a category from the dropdown when saving a recipe, or type a new one and you'll be prompted to add it to your list. Renaming or removing a category only affects the list you pick from going forward — recipes you've already saved keep their existing category text.
Improved Search — search is no longer limited to a single word for titles or two words for ingredients. Type any number of search terms and a recipe must contain all of them to match. A new Scope selector lets you search titles only, recipe content only, or both, and a Category filter lets you narrow results to one category, or browse a whole category with no search term at all. Search results now also show each recipe's category.
Bug Fixes
Direction indentation now aligns correctly at step 10 and beyond. Previously, continuation lines were indented a fixed 3 spaces, which looked right for steps 1-9 but misaligned once a recipe reached double-digit steps. Indentation now scales to match the actual width of the step number.
Synopsis
- Full rewrite from Tkinter to PyQt6
