Technical Help?

Google Chrome ONLY?
I opened an acc't at gourmetrecipemanager.com today. I tried to upload .grmt, .xml and .db files of my (1400-odd) recipes. I tried to upload .pdf-s, too. Nothing worked. Viewing github I believe I must use Google's Chrome Browser exclusively. Am I understanding correctly? Chrome or nothing?
- Does anyone know If it possible to use the Linux version of Chrome called Chromium with your extension? It is the only time I will use Chrome. (I use Firefox as my daily driver.)
- What is the easiest way to put my 1400 recipes onto the server? I cannot do it one at a time. I'm crazy for cooking, not crazy for computer!!!
Mark,
Still in beta. The extension is currently chrome only, but the app isn't
meant to be. That said, I think there was a firefox bug last I checked that
might be blocking it from working there. It should certainly work in
chromium though. The extension makes importing from websites easy -- in
theory it shouldn't be too bad to port the extension to firefox as they
have a lot in common, but I haven't tested it there.
For the 1400 recipes, the key is to convert them into the web format for
now. It should be pretty straightforward for me to write a converter for
.grmt => the web format, but I haven't done it yet. Do you have an
installation of Gourmet working right now on a linux box? If so, the python
script attached should live in the gourmet/gourmet/db folder and then if
you run it directly, it should export a giant json file which is the import
format currently in use.
I should really make a direct .grmt => json converter that can run in the
browser though, as a lot of people may have backed up recipes but won't
have a working gourmet as python 2 becomes harder to get working. Making a
direct .db => json converter is a little harder to do, though, though it
may also be possible.

As you have taken GRM to cloud hosted recipes, may I PLEASE give you this one piece of information. For years, when I had the URL: unidentifiedparty.com, I used Nearly Free Speech as the hosting service. I believe I was charged 50 cents a gigabyte of bandwidth usage. Given your usage, it could be as little as 25 cents. I hope this is useful to you.
