It would be useful to have a button, or even more preferable an assignable key combination, to reload the cookcook while the client is loaded. When I try different variations on a script I need to stop clients that ran experiments and restart them to load the cookbook with changes.
The reload function is there, it's the "recycle" arrows in the cookbook. The hover help is a carryover, saying "browse/download shared recipes", but it should say "refresh cookbook".
See cookbook overview on the wiki for a quick summary the limited functions of the client side of the cookbook.
Good catch on the bad name there. We are planning to add the 'browse/download shared recipes' button back as well.
