User Lists

User lists, unlike your master lists, can contain sub-lists, and any kind of item.
Also, unlike your master lists, deleting an item from a user list doesn't remove
it from your database. It only removes it from its user list. An item can be
added to and deleted from any user list, or moved and copied to any location
that you would like without fear of having it deleted from a master list. Remov-
ing an item from its master list however, will also remove it from any list that
contains it. This means that if you remove a recipe from your “Recipes” master
list, it will also be removed from all of your user lists that contain it.

Creating a new User List

2. Right-click or Ctrl-click on the list and choose New > List from the menu.

3. Alternatively, choose File > New > List or ⇧⌘G (shift-⌘-G).

Recipe Box Widescreen and Normal Display Modes

Your recipe box is able to display your information in two different modes,
widescreen and normal. Widescreen mode stacks your columns side-by-side
and can better take advantage of more recent Apple widescreen displays. Nor-
mal mode uses a display similar to that used by Apple’s Mail application. The
mode used can be set in Preferences.

In addition to these modes, the column that displays the items in the main se-
lected list can also be shown using either the normal multi-column “list”, or us-
ing a “summary” version of the list, which are more suited to widescreen mode.
When displayed using summaries, the items in the list will be displayed in a
single column, with taller rows that contain a summary of information for the
selected item, including its image, etc. To toggle between list and summary
lists, press the button at the bottom right of the main list column resize handle.
