SV: SV: [Nautilus-list] Status...

["Blad, John Erling" <john erling blad aftenposten no>]

In the application the actions wasn't on a single object. You did
something on one of several objects. Mostly just changed a state.

Because of the users transient memory the app forgot too..

You'd also want to retain the "back up everything to here" function as
well, though... if you just select an action from the Undo/Redo submenu,
how does it know whether to undo that single action, or everything
inbetween as well?

Of course there's the also the potential for nasty interdependencies
between actions that would at best be ambiguous, and at worst
undetectable... but that's not really a discussion for the Nautilus
list  :o)

Cheeri,
Calum.
