That reverts to the last saved instance; not the original instance. On 04/02/2011 23:39, Owen wrote: 1. I create an artwork and save it as a Gimp file. 2.

Re: [Gimp-user] reverting to base state
Here's a little script I wrote: http://registry.gimp.org/node/14246 to do the save-as to a unique file. I just added a key-binding to call it. -Rob A> ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148930 In general, someone just has to implement something like this (see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51937 for a discussion of macro recording, saving the undo history may be closely related). Approaches via autosaving should take https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=138373 into consideration, this report summarizes some of the challenges to be handled.

As a programmer, I find it irking to do the same, repetitive action more than three or four times, when I know that the machine in front of me would uncomplainingly do it a million times if only I gave it the right instructions... but yeah, there is the cost/effect to take into account. -- Kevin Brubeck Unhammer http://donttrack.us/ -- because you're worth it ___ Gimp-user mailing list Gimp-user@lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU https://lists.XCF.Berkeley.EDU/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user
Re: [Gimp-user] reverting to base state
Fair enough, but that's laborious. Why not simply have a history state that, with one click, reverts everything to how it was when you opened it?

Now we're talking. How possible is it for someone to create a script / plugin that solves this problem? (Sadly, I know nothing about coding.)

Re: [Gimp-user] reverting to base state
That's unfortunate. Sometimes, it is handy to be able to revert to the newly opened file state. *Comparison alert* In Photoshop, this option is literally one click; it's in the history toolbar as the last (or first) action (regardless of the number of undo states). This really should be a standard feature. On 04/02/2011 16:47, Jernej Simončič wrote: On Fri, 04 Feb 2011 16:41:44 +0200, Jeremy Nell wrote: Is there a way to revert to the original instance?
