Undo

[Karanight]

Can we have an undo in the Edit for un-checking a singer in "All" If we un-check the wrong singer there's no way to undo. I've found this quite easy to do with the new macbook Multi-Touch trackpad that has no button. If the wrong singer is deleted and you don't know who it was you're knackered, and end upsetting singers, and we all know how easy that is to do.

un-checking a singer in "All"

huh? do you mean in the singers' list, you uncheck the "here" checkbox?

[Karanight]

Yes
If there are songs left in the tonight list and the singer leaves, I un-check them as here and then the next time they come to karaoke, when I check them as "here" there list is already there.

undo is sortof an all or nothing kind of thing. if you provide undo for changing an object in any way, you must provide undo for all possible actions on that object, otherwise you can crash your system.

eg: create new singer: no undo
add song to singer's list: no undo
--> singer is auto set to "here": no undo
KJ sets singer to "not here": pretend this has an undo task. undo menu now says "Undo set singer here"
delete singer: no undo
undo menu STILL says "undo set singer here" but the singer is gone. if i undo it, i'll crash.

so, no, you can't add undo for "just one" part of something, it has to be done for all parts.

yes there are plans for undo, i already have an undo manager (as you can see in Producer)

it is on the list, just not for right now.
