Undo (command-Z) is Unusable (PG 5.96)

[Pinegrow_User]

@MarredCheese

What a joke. And judging by old forum posts, this problem has persisted for years . Pinegrow, please fix critical bugs before even dreaming of adding more features.

@Printninja

The undo is horrible

Not that it helps with the existing frustrations, but @matjaz spoke a bit regarding “undo / history / cmd-z” and the changes that took place in v5.97 in this other thread.

Combined Undo History in today's v5.97 update

@Robert yes, your understanding is correct. The problem with split histories is that in Pinegrow (as opposed to a normal code editor) certain operations change multiple pages and/or stylesheets. For example, creating a CSS rule with a class selector can also add the class to selected element(s). Undoing in one history, but not in others, would place the project in an inconsistent state that didn’t exist in the past. In addition, some operations also change the project-level database that was in…

The following is also from the Release Notes for 5.9.7:

Combined Undo history

Until now it was possible to use separate undo histories for each page and CSS styling by enabling it in Undo options. We removed this option, so that now only, the default, combined history can be used. This lets us remove some complexities from the undo system and that will help with improving it further.

Based upon that verbiage it seems to remain something they are aware of while seeking to address and improve things. So hopefully current frustrations will someday improve for users, perhaps in the next major release when it comes.
