Undo only record events

PostSun Dec 12, 2021 10:18 pm

Avid has a setting where you can limit the undo function only to 'record events' (i.e. events where you change something on the timeline) as opposed to all events which includes even things like switching auto-selectors on and off. I think it would be useful to have this setting in Resolve as well.

When working on a timeline with 10 audio tracks and 3 video tracks, and you switch off all video and audio auto-selects, that means you have to press Undo 13 times before you get to the undo that you really want. Of course I could go into history, but it's a pain. A settings would be better.

Another approach to addressing this - one which is used in text editors - is to group operations a user would likely want undone/redone together. So typing a word followed by a space generally groups the whole word together rather than requiring an undo for each letter.

I imagine a similar approach could handle this issue.
