I am a happy user of BrewSmith 1.4 on Windows 7, and I have purchased BrewSmith 2.2 and installed it successfully on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. What I have not yet been able to do is to import (copy? open?) my recipes from 1.4 on Windows to 2.2 on Ubuntu. I have followed the excellent instructions in the video to do this manually, but 2.2 always says there is an error in importing.
Here is what I have done in detail:
1. Saved the brewlog.bsm file as instructed in the video.
2. I have copied that file to a USB drive and tried to open from there. Then I tried from a copy on the Ubuntu desktop. Then I tried from a copy on the Windows partition on the Ubuntu machine (it's dual boot), and no luck there. Perhaps this is a problem with the difference in file types, NTFS vs. EFT4 (I think that's what the file type I'm using in Ubuntu is). Anyway, I don't have enough computer chops to figure this out. Probably a rare kind of upgrade, not only from 1.4 to 2.2 but from Windows to Linux. I doubt I'm the only one in the world doing this, though -). If not a solution, any work around?
Any help greatly appreciated.
