Alph Tech / STUART Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 It would be nice if toggling a layer's visibility on and off repeatedly only did and undid one Layer Visibility Properties item in History instead of flooding the History window with a bunch of Layer Visibility Properties representing the repeated toggling and untoggling of the layer.

david.atwell Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I agree. I'd like it if each layer being toggled off would represent a history item, and each layer being toggled off would just be an undo of that item. And, actually, since layer visibility is discrete and non-destructive, I wouldn't be too sad if layer visibility didn't impact the history at all.

PyroTechniques Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah, like zooming - no history record at all, since you can always toggle the thing back on again. But maybe there's some reason not to do it that we don't know about? Quote Photobucket Sucks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alph Tech / STUART Posted December 8, 2008 Author Share Posted December 8, 2008 Take for example a scenario in which you have 15 different layers, each with certain blending options on that the image is incomprehensible if a few specific layers aren't toggled. (anyone who's played the Clint Howard games like The Fool's Errand knows how this works). If you were to toggle all of those on, it would be a pain to go through and trial and error figure out which ones you had on and off, which is why they have entries in History.

Rick Brewster Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 And, actually, since layer visibility is discrete and non-destructive... Layer visibility must be in the history because it affects the rendering and the contents of the image (the saved file will be different). Although this idempotency idea is intriguing ...
