Le Cloud BeerSmith |
|
Le Cloud de Recettes BeerSmith is a new internet based recipe sharing service that is tightly integrated with BeerSmith 2.1.
In BeerSmith 2.1 a new "Cloud View" has been added for storing recipes. Recipes added to this cloud folder are not stored on your local machine but are instead stored on the BeerSmithRecipes.com web site and accessed via an active internet connection.
The cloud view provides three services:
| • | It lets you share a set of recipes in the cloud folder across multiple computers and synch them easily |
| • | You can mark a recipe as shared, in which case it will now be available publicly on the BeerSmithRecipes.com web server, forming a large active database of BeerSmith recipes for the home brewing community. |
| • | You can also go to BeerSmithRecipes.com and find recipes you like. These can be downloaded or saved to your cloud folder for easy access in BeerSmith. |
Pour Bien Commencer with Le Cloud BeerSmith
| o | You first need to register for an account at BeerSmithRecipes.com |
| o | After registering you can go to Cloud on the View menu or ribbon and use your login to access your cloud folder. You will need an active internet connection. |
| o | Now you can copy/paste recipes into the cloud folder as needed, or right click on any BeerSmith recipe you've created and use the Copy to Cloud Folder command. You can also use Copy Local to save cloud recipes to your My Recipes folder. |
Sharing Cloud Recipes
| o | From within the BeerSmith program, open the cloud view and use the large Shared/Private button to mark a recipe as private or shared. |
| o | By default all new recipes are private and only visible to you |
| o | Sharing a recipe makes it public so it can be viewed and downloaded by anyone visiting the BeerSmithRecipes.com web site |
Searching for New Recipes In the Cloud
| o | You can now find new recipes directly from BeerSmith - just go to Recherche dans le Cloud on the View menu to find and download shared recipes online |
Synchronizing Recipes Across Machines
| o | If you log into the same user account from two different machines, you will see the same recipes in your cloud folder. |
| o | If you add a new recipe or edit one on one machine, it will be uploaded to the cloud folder immediately |
| o | You can check for new recipes on the server using the Synch button on the ribbon from your cloud folder at any time. |
| o | The program will automatically synchronize every 12 minutes or so - but you can adjust the time in the Options du Cloud dialog. |
Finding, Sharing, and Reviewing Recipes on BeerSmithRecipes.com
| o | The web site at BeerSmithRecipes.com is a giant searchable database of BeerSmith recipes contributed by other home brewers. If you log into this web site you can search for recipes, view your existing cloud folder recipes, download recipes, comment on and review recipes, follow friends and much more. |
