I've been mulling around the whole "Undo" thing in my head for the last couple of weeks, trying to make sense of something useful I noticed in GNOME. Sadly, I've failed, but I thought I would share it anyway.
One of the nice bits about GNOME/Nautilus (I think, anyway, although I'm not sure what a usability guru would say) is the fact that you have the back and forward arrows, that take you back and forward in history, but you also have the buttons for each level of the filesystem you are in - eg if you are in /home/mrben/.jokosher/projects/ then you can click on a button to go to /home/mrben directly.
This seemed to me an interesting paradigm in the whole "multiple threads" debate over unlimited undo, and I wondered if there was an obvious way to incorporate this into Jokosher. Sadly, I couldn't think of anything obvious :( The only real thought I had was maybe a set of buttons representing all of the applied actions, and then allowing the user to "toggle" some of the actions on and off, but I don't know how that would work in practice. (ie, if you applied an effect to one track 15 operations ago, you could toggle that effect change to off without affecting the 15 operations since.....)
