Hi Steve
Wow - 385! You're probably about on par with me. I have 467, but I got a head start. Mine date back to about 6 months before release to December of 09, once I finally got the database all wired up. Thanks for sharing - love to hear stuff like that!
Copy Roast - thanks for suggesting this! I've been wanting to add that for 2 updates now, but I try to keep myself focused on things people are asking for the most. Now it has become official!
Mainly though, I've held off on because I didn't want to sacrifice screen space on the roast list for iPhone users by adding a bottom toolbar. I think I might end up doing is putting a "Copy Roast" like you suggest in the roast details screen. I think that's less cumbersome than forcing a choice every time you start a roast. Either way, I will do that soon. That bugs me as well when I roast with my Quest. I usually end up doing a few batches of the same thing back to back. That will come in very handy.
Now - templates. The next update is ready to go - I'm just waiting on a small issue to be fixed with drivers for the new iPhone 5 for the new data-logging option. That update will introduce Curve Templates in profiles and programs for folks who use curves. If curve templates are defined, with one tap all of the curves are set up and ready to go. I find that to be the most cumbersome of data entry. Do you use curves? And if so, would that combined with a "Copy Roast" feature be along the lines of what you're looking for, or are you thinking more of a strict template, in addition to?
Now that work on data-logging is mostly over for the time being, I want to switch my head to productivity-enhancing features like you're suggesting - things that speed workflow. The new roast analyzer coming in this update is one of those features - basically the current full screen graph, but greatly enhanced to allow quick comparisons between roasts. It will be a great thing for folks who use curves.
Please advise about the Curve Templates if you can. It will help me greatly in determining how folks would like to see this implemented.
Thanks
Danny
