Extend undo levels - or snapshot support

Core Development Feature Requests
1

Currently, it is only possible to undo changes until the last deployment.

It would be nice, if this limit could be extended.
Another possibility would be the support of tab-wise snapshots.

Use case: trying something with many changes and/or deployments.

Take a look at the projects feature...

Thanks, i'm aware of the project feature - but it's a little more complicated than pressing "Ctrl-Z" :slight_smile:

Sure, i could also copy the tab and disable the original, but the easiest way are a few keystrokes to restore the old state.

But equally, why would we implement a parallel system that duplicated what projects can do, but without the same level of functionality?

I think there is a place for a more simplified user experience with projects - something I posted back in January: Feedback wanted: Simplified git workflow

5

If the simplified workflow runs completely local without the usual project overhead, it sounds like a good idea!

What do you define the 'usual project overhead' as?

Projects can run completely locally already. There is no requirement to have a remote repository.

7
  • username / password
  • naming and definition of the project
  • naming of commit msgs

All this should be autogenerated / filled.

If you only have a local project with no remote, there is no username/password.

You need to create a project to get started. It's a 10 second task to give it a name. Sorry, I don't think that's overhead - it's a quick one off task needed to get the benefits projects bring.

See the thread I linked to regarding commit messages. If you have any suggestions as to how those auto-filled commit messages could be made useful, I'd appreciate your input.

About the commit msg: I would include the changed flow name(s) and a timestamp in the comment.

Also i'm wondering, how easy it is to go back to a previous version? And if there is only one flow changed, will only this flow redeployed or all from the project?
