Off hand, it's hard to say if these issues are caused by BeerSmith or something in your operating system. However, you should backup the .../Documents/BeerSmith2 folder to preserve your recipes and custom profiles.
That said, it may be prudent to reload BeerSmith to eliminate it as a source for the hesitating behavior you're seeing.
Brad's outline for how to repair BeerSmith:
- Rename your "Documents/BeerSmith2" directory to something else like "OldBeerSmith" which saves your data
- Make sure you have the latest version of BeerSmith 2 installed from the main download page
- Restart BeerSmith2 - which will create a new BeerSmith 2 directory with the sample recipes in it
- You will likely have to enter your registration key again
- Once you have BeerSmith running again, use the Open command to open your old Recipe.bsmx file
that is now in your "OldBeerSmith" directory and then copy/paste any recipes you need into
your new "My Recipes" folder
- You can do the same with Equipment.bsmx, Hops.bsmx, etc... if you have added items beyond
those that came with BeerSmith 2
- If you can't open one of the files (Recipe.bsmx for example), you can also try opening the numbered
backups (Recipe1.bsmx, Recipe2.bsmx, etc...) - these contain older copies of the original.
- Please keep your "OldBeerSmith" directory around (the one you renamed earlier) as it will have all of your data in it!
