Undo/Redo

Hello Matthias,

Would it be feasible to add an undo/redo list with the latest xx actions performed (where xx can maybe be specified in the setup) when selecting Edit > Undo/Redo? Sometimes it is a bit cumbersome to undo/redo many actions, especially when I play a lot with layer visibilities in between editing actions.

Cheers,

Tomas

    Hi @tomas2004,

    Just displaying them if possible, but selecting a specific action to undo is not. The reason is that every undo action expects to see exactly the state after the original action was applied. This is a common pattern in undo/redo implementations.

    But I wonder - the last action is already displayed in the Edit menu next to the Undo item.

    Hi Matthias,

    The idea was indeed to be able to select it and undo all actions which are more recent as well, not just the selected one. The goal is to replace multiple undos done one by one (which can be cumbersome if there are dozens) by one step...

    Cheers,

    Tomas

    I see. Understood.

    Maybe you can open a ticket on GitHub. This is a fair request, but to be frank, not one of my top priorities.

    Thanks,

    Matthias

    Hi Matthias,

    Ok, I will create a ticket soon. It's not that important and I'm sure you have a lot of things on your plate.

    Cheers,

    Tomas
