Cloud recipe synchronizing

Hi.

I have a recipe in my recipes.  I copy to cloud so I can enter measurements in brewery.  I save to the cloud.

I now have my 'base recipe'  and my cloud recipe.  Both same name...and same date.

I copy my cloud recipe to my recipes.  I now have 2 recipes in my recipes.  One is the base line recipe one is with brew day / alterations added.

This is confusing to me.  Why does it not synchronize the 1 single recipe?

Adding to this is the fact that I struggle with a recipe versus a brewing session.  In promash they were separate.  In beersmith a recipe is the same as a brew session with brew date etc. 

Any suggestions?

Greetings Derek - I have been looking for a feature such as what you?re suggesting for a few years now; Still waiting.  I ended up just moving my desktop PC to a location near my basement brewery.  It seems like simply using edit dates would be the simple fix, but I guess not.

Unfortunately, BeerSmith is not set up to be able to synchronize a recipe on a local folder with one in the cloud with the possible exception of one on the BeerSmith recipe cloud, but since I have not used that much, I cannot say for certain that does synchronize.

In terms of keeping brew day batches separate from master recipe files, the use of the 'brew log' feature will help with this.  I keep my recipes in folders by type and when I want to brew one, I highlight the recipe and then click on 'copy to log' in the tool ribbon.  This places an exact copy of the recipe into a new folder called "brew log".  I use the brew log folder for customization, changing the date to the brew date and entering the brew day data.  The original recipe in my recipes folder remains unchanged and I have a duplicate in the brew log with all the pertinent data for that brew session as a self-contained recording of the actual results.
