Is there no way to simply call the code that creates the default layout in the first place? If possible, it would obviate the need for any undoers at all. Just call it as the first thing any layout script does.
That would shift to approach #1 rather than approach #2, but if the benefit of the new API is the ability to define a static layout, perhaps the initial layout itself should be defined in such a way (if it is not already), and simply applied with force before tweaking via the rest of the scripts. Just a thought. I have not looked into the code to see if this is feasible. Jake On Sat, Jul 20, 2024 at 10:00 AM Edward K.
