control-v control-y and saves

while in the editor, control z and control y are great. however, as soon as you save a new copy of your filter AND remain within the editor, the remembering of your undo's and redo's is wiped clean. even if you dont leave the editor, those are wiped out at the time you save.

i'd love it if these werent wiped out when you saved. and if that's not totally possible, at least if your undo's were still there up to the point of the save.

once you leave the editor, fine, flush the cache of undo's/redo's, but until then, i'd like it if a save in the editor didnt flush everything.

you can already do that, redcap. just hit the 'back' button next to the 'next variant' button. ok, it's not a hotkey, but works just fine.

an actions tree? you mean like photoshop actions?

oh, a history list/palette/tree. ok. yeah, that would be very(!) useful!

well, all i was requesting was that the history not be deleted/flushed with a save within the editor. your suggestion of actually having a way to display and use that history goes a step further and is an EXCELLENT idea!

Good idea -- I've added it to our short-term list.

thanks, vlad

i'm thinking the latter, steve. i'm sure he read the whole thread

well, he did say 'the short term list', so, that might mean in an update, where we might get the whole history palette in a version 2? so, never say never
