I have a question about the undo mechanism, especially if I undo several steps.
Occasionally, when I undo and the redo, I do not get back to where I expect to be.
Instead it seems that the I could recall a previous state. This seems to happen when I
have made a series of undo and then "forked" at an earlier stage.
Here is an example:
1
|
2
|
3 - 6
|
4
|
5
Let say I work along states 1 through 5. Then I undo until 3 and work a bit.
Then if I undo I get back to 3 but cannot redo to reach 6 again, but rather get
4 and yet another redo brings me to 5.
Is this by design?
"design" - ha - sort of. The undos work in chronological order and an index.
It's been on the list to rework for years, but never made it to the top :-)
I suppose that if the index changes to "latest" on a save-backup, then
you will get the behaviour you want. Agreed?
I feel an undo action followed by a redo should bring you back to where you
were before you pressed the undo. Not bring you to a state from much earlier.
Hmm. Well you can read the file that you want from the
coot-backup-directory.
