You can also drag and drop an import file into your Recipe Box! Just select an
import file in the Finder and drag it into one of your lists, or onto one of your
lists. That's all there is to it.
Once imported, your new items can be found in both your appropriate "My" list,
and in your "Last Import" list.
Exporting Recipes and Notes
Exporting items is as easy as importing them. You can export recipes in a vari-
ety of formats, described below:
MacGourmet Deluxe Export Files
The MacGourmet Deluxe file export types include two different ways to export
both text and binary versions of recipes, wine notes and notes. The formats
with the word “Personal’ appended to them will create export files that include
both your personal ratings and whether you have prepared the recipe or not.
Those MacGourmet Deluxe formats not marked as personal will not include this
information. This allows you to make export files that will preserve your own
information, and files that are more generic, which is preferable when sharing
your items with others.
When you choose to export MacGourmet Deluxe Binary files, any embedded im-
ages will be saved in a format that is smaller and faster to import later. The text
format is useful when putting your export files on a web site or sending them
through email. In the text version of the format, any embedded images are
converted to text, making them easier to share across different mail and web
servers, but also making them larger.
Text and Rich Text
1. Choose the list or set of recipes in your recipe box that you’d like to export.
2. Choose File > Export... and choose either Text File or RTF File as the format.
