Unless this is already available: I just removed a category I set up for Theater View but then realized that I could have left it there since. As you know, quite some amount of set-up time can be put into setting up those views. Therefore an easy way to "undo" a move might be beneficial.
-
Like Ctrl-Z or Edit > Undo?
Yeah, they are there.
-
Yeah, something like that. Thanks. Just added an "Item to show" in theater view. Hitting CTRL-Z does not have any effect and I can't open "Edit" since for that I need to close the "Options" window. After closing the "Options" window, the "Undo" function in "Edit" is greyed out. Am I doing it wrong?
-
I've made plenty of mistakes in MC, and I have never found "Undo" to undo any of them. I'm not sure when works. It never does anything in the situations when I need it.
I just tried it again (added a song to a playlist then tried to undo it. Nothing. Of course it's easy to remove an item from a Playlist - but i was just testing to see if the "last command" could be undone.)
I don't know under what situations it works. There is nothing in the Wiki.

You could restore a backup. MC makes them automatically.

Thanks JimH for your solution proposal.
A backup restores everything that was set at a particular time, a snapshot so to say. An undo option just reverses the last user entry. While doing a backup can solve a messed up setup (and can also lead to an even more messed up setup), in my view those things serve different purposes. Because of that, I would not recommend anybody to use a backup when he asks for an undo option.
I assume that is a "No" to my suggestion above?
-
Ctrl+z only works to undo the last tag changes, not changes to the program itself, such as removing a view scheme.
-
We don't have any changes planned here. If you're going to do something significant, you could back up your library (and settings) first.
-
OK, thanks for claryfing. So in summary: "undo" in MC is for tagging only. All other changes are to be undone using MC's backup functionality.
-
Well, I never said it worked everywhere! ;D
On lots of programs that have an undo function it only works in certain situations, where it makes sense and isn't too complicated.

That explains it. Can someone add this info to the Wiki so others can learn?

As there has been no confirmation what the code actually does, I added a note to the Ctrl-Z Keyboard Hot-Keys entry. https://wiki.jriver.com/index.php/Keyboard_Hot-keys
