some idea of where you are blocking could help.
Once you install it, and install the recipe file, all you have to is a) get the components for whatever you want to make, b) select the item from the dropdowns, enter the number you want made. Press start.
There was gonna be some extra documentation and information. One person was bugging quite a bit, wanting to help in any way possible, wanting to know what he could do.
I mentioned what I needed most was write-ups for Make It! At which point almost all email conversation ended.
I need to keep that technique in mind for whenever somebody starts bugging me with email.
I'm beginning to think that 'let me help anyway I can' really means, please send me fixes before anyone else so I don't have to wait like normal people do...

my guess is he missed the install the fullrecipe step.
at which point attempting to add or create a recipe is a nightmare.

I use make-it and one thing about it that bothers me as compared to robochef is that if you are missing a ingrediant Make it doesn't tell you what you are missing, it just sits there. Unless I don't have something enabled...I have the full recipe file installed. Robochef also would go and make the product until it ran into the missing ingrediant part...then stop at that point, Make it won't even start until everything is there so you can't even guess what you are missing.
Just a couple of comments on the differances...

I use Make It! and one thing that bothers me is that people keep claiming it doesn't display what ingredients you are missing, no matter how often I explain where the message. And instead of asking, they make claims that it doesn't do it. Oh well.

LOL not defending Gouru or his progs, as he can do that himself quite nicely, but I wish people would stop comparing what's here with things that are not here. You guys have to remember that people like Gouru are NOT paid for what they're doing. Sure some of us may donate for coffee now and then, but all in all, they're making these progs just for the hell of it. Give some credit where credit is due, instead of using his progs then saying it sucks (especially in cases like this where in your basis is totally off.. I've seen Gouru post re: where MakeIt messages go to a number of times) just be happy with them; that or make your own.
Robochef is dead people. Until someone revives it, you got MakeIt, Tings, and maybe a couple other progs out there. And they're not exactly second choices either. You guys just need to get used to them like you did with Robochef in the past.

I know that I, for one, can develop software that has absolutely superb capabilities, reliability and with the most robust feature set available. At least as long as actual delivery of the product is not a requirement for the review...

"mebby put all errors in the main chat window "
Not sure if it's a serious question, but I hope Gouru doesn't do it.
With messages going to a chat window other than main, you can opt not to see them. If it's in main, you can't not see it (at least AFAIK theres no way to close main chat window)

Having plugin place its messages in chat 1 makes sense to me.
It does allow ppl to sit and chat and not look at the messages.
I sorta went the other way with Tings. If I want to chat and if Tings few messages get in the way I
can open a Chat window to do my gabbing and ignore the plugin messages in the main chat. I may
put in option to stop even that as Tings Hud shows basic messages already.

Moving the error messages to main chat is actually what I have been planning on doing in next release.
This will ONLY be for errors like 'out of components' etc., not general messages.
It will also be configurable as to which window the messages can go to
Find It! was done as my first plugin update after the new chat windows went in. I was still experimenting with them, figuring out the best way to use them, and how they should best be used. Later plugins that used the windows had configurability built in (see Find It!) and those capabilities will appear in my other plugins as well.
My philosophy has always been that if it is 'good enough' for my own personal use, then I will release it for others to use as well, even if it is not perfect. There are those that disagree with this philosophy, preferring I don't release anything until it is full release quality with manuals and step by step how-tos. I think there are others that prefer being able to install a version of Make It! that is probably about 90% there, than not being able to install something that gets reviewed in glowing terms with nothing to show except future promises.
I wouldn't mind getting out of the Make It! business. The only reason I wrote it originally was that Robochef had been completely dropped as support. Later, the developer came back to the game and started supporting Robochef again, so choice became available. Great! However, with ToD, we're back to supported plugins and non-supported. A situation where you have a player using it on a daily basis, and a developer that will never use it because they aren't playing any more.
I'd like to see Robochef done for those that want that option. But comparative reviews are a little premature.
