New/more shopping list templates

Postby aaguilera83 on Fri Apr 02, 2010

Hello,

Now with a visual request. The template used right now in the shopping list is ok, but has some limitations.

First of all, it uses looots of color wich drains my cartdridges. And I don't like that. :D

Second, it shows ammount, measure and ingredient name resulting in things like "2 grams - grams - pork" which is obviously redundant.

Third, it doesn't use the available space smartly and that makes lists to expend through several pages (specially with long lists).

I think something like the image attached will be more useful and print-oriented. Obviously, it should display ammounts beforethe ingredient name and that's all.

One additional comment: most of us usually don't go to the supermarket with DIN A4 lists. I prefer to fold the page in 2 or 4. I think it would be nice to have such an option at printing as well. But maybe this last request is way too difficult tom implement... Just thinking aloud... :D

Best.

Categorization isn't going to work, as ingredients are not categorized.

I'll look into the duplicate measurements bug however, thanks.

Hi Harry,

Thanks for your answer. Sorry for the missunderstood, I didn't propose to use cetegories for the ingredientes. I just was proposing that template (in plain white, with checkboxes, etc.) as it's much more useful when shopping. Tick if you have it in the cart and go to the next thing, save ink when printing, etc.

WDYT?

Duplicate measurement bug fixed in 1.67.

I've also added a checkbox for items you have in the cart and sorted ingredients by name and a slider to let you control the column width, it should make printing smaller sizes easier.
