Greetings! I hope all is well. I have another question for you I was hoping you could answer.
I have been roasting now for a few months on the restored version of Typica you created for us. I was wondering if there was anyway we could introduce some of the other features (mainly the compare roast feature) into the software as it currently is.
To refresh your memory, each time I roast a coffee, in the notes, there reads an error message saying the version has been simplified.
@neal is there anyway to keep my profile library and switch over to a full functioning version of typica?
@agudbrandson The simplification notice should only be visible when batch data cannot be requested with the query specified on line 178 in Windows/batchdetailsnew.xml
I believe this was originally done because Typica allowed you to save batch data without green coffees properly specified, but any failure on that query will trigger the fallback case.
The real solution is for future data to be properly entered: coffee purchase records and weight of which green coffees used for the batch.
@agudbrandson My understanding of things is that as you enter correct green coffee data for future batches, the reports against that data should no longer have the note you're complaining of. Is this not true?
In any case, I'm reworking Typica's handling of green coffee inventory and will need to make a lot of interface changes for anything that touches that for the 1.10 release that I'm hoping to have the time to finish late summer/early fall.
@agudbrandson I suppose the alternative would be to run a query that populates the missing data with /something/. That would make the warning go away, but whatever that /something/ is would not likely be true and that would need to be redone against new records if the underlying data entry problem isn't fixed.
@neal Thanks Neal, here is a copy of the error message I get when I complete a roast. Would I need to re-download Typica to fix the issue? Is there some other setting I am overlooking? I know it's been a while now, but I seem to remember you saying that I had entered my green coffee inventory incorrectly and that was causing the error.
@agudbrandson Right, you see where it says unroasted_id: {}? That means that when you were in the New Batch window you didn't specify a green coffee item. As soon as you start doing that, those batches will not present that warning. No new downloads required.
That your green and roasted weights are the same is also suspicious, but that will only cause reports on weight loss/production totals to be wrong, not cause errors.
@neal Great Thanks! I will do that. I appreciate the help as always.
@agudbrandson If you run into further trouble, let me know.
@neal That solved my issue :) I was wondering if the "compare profile" option was still in existence. Is this a feature I need to select within "configure roaster?"
@agudbrandson You won't find an option for that feature there. It looks like that button was removed about a year ago. I should write a better comparison feature.
@agudbrandson These changes should not affect existing roasting records and will not impact any saved profiles.
