New Feature: Move Ingredients Between Categories

06 February 2011

Ever have a shopping list with an ingredient in the wrong category? It can be annoying, and until now there was nothing you could do about it. Now, however, when you hover over an ingredient, you can click the little dropdown arrow and select “Change Category”:

From there, you can modify the expression (if you like) and choose your new category:

The “expression” field may be a bit confusing, but you don’t have to worry about it if you want to keep things simple. If you want to get a bit more advanced, just keep in mind that the “expression” is what is searched for in an ingredient to match it to a category. And, if you want to go completely nuts, you can use regular expressions, in this format:

juice(.+?)lemon#p=20

Where “20” is the priority of the expression (for when there’s more than one match). By default the priority is the length of the expression, but for regular expressions you must specify it yourself.
