Thanks again, Yerga!

Yes, if it wouldn't be too much trouble for you to package it up, I'd love to give the .deb a try regardless of those difficulties you mention. Glad to hear they're reworking the code, it's actually surprised me that the program hasn't been used more widely - not available in the Ubuntu repos, for example, as I find it to be a wonderful desktop program. So hopefully the next version will find its way into more wide-spread use.

Anyway, for the tablet version: of course it'd be great to have all the features fully available but when thinking about practise (like how I imagine using this in the kitchen), I'd probably just have the recipe screen open and take a peek at it while cooking, the only feature used being scrolling screen to see the whole recipe. So, really, slowness shouldn't be a problem as long as the recipe itself is formatted decently and can be scrolled if needed on the screen while using...and, actually, a "tablet gourmet version" that doeesn't even support anything other than loading and reading recipes would probably be just great for most people anyway. With the idea that "edit on the computer, move to tablet, use tablet while cooking". Or is it just me -- what does everybody else think? To me, the ability to have a library of recipes on the tablet and be able to have the tablet in the kitchen to peek at is really the whole point of using this, I'd be fine editing etc. elsewhere on my computer.
