if you're going to do this, please separate volume and temperature measurements. (I like my temps in F and measurements in metric) |

It occurs to me that a neat way of doing this might be by introducing a concept of "canonical units". By this, I mean the ability to say that the "canonical" form of These transformations could then be applied when importing/viewing a recipe. |

I'd imagine this could also help with regional differences in spelling, e.g. |

This would be a great feature! But I guess for this to work, mealie would have to switch from using a plane string as a unit, to defining actual units. This would also open the door for many other features. I already don't understand why you can input anything as a unit. There only exist two systems: metric and imperial, so why would one allow the use of anything when 99% of the people just fill in the units with the same metric and imperial names? So changing the units to predefined ones would be only reasonable, I think. Maybe some mealie contributor will read this :) I would be happy to help implementing this if there is the will to move in that direction. |

Just to note that British, Australian, and American Imperial systems differ
on some measures. A tablespoon in the UK is equivalent to 15 ml (same as
the EU) whereas in the Australia it is 20 ml and in the US 14.8 ml,
for example.

First Check
Please provide a concise description of the problem that would be addressed by this feature.
Allow users to toggle between metric / imperial / US imperial units for a recipe and automatically convert the units to the chosen system. This could either be a profile setting or per recipe (per recipe would be more flexible)
Please provide a concise description of the feature that would resolve your issue.
This would greatly assist users when importing recipes that use a different measurement system to their chosen preference.
Please consider and list out some caveats or tradeoffs made in your design decision
Some measurements may not cover easily such as cups; most recipe managers do not attempt to convert these.
