Question on undo and RFE...

Ultimately it’s my responsibility to be careful, but Undo is a wonderful thing nonetheless. Until it’s not available… :grimacing:

I edited an image with multiple layers, hand-tweaked masks, etc., etc. – About 30-45 minutes of work, as I recall. I next edited another image and then started a third. I wanted to update the Exif note on that third image to match the first one. So in the File Browser I went to the first image and pressed Ctrl+C to copy the edit profile.

At least I meant to. Actually what I pressed was Ctrl+V… which pasted all the (copied in the interim) edits from the second image over the first one.

No worries – I’ll just undo that mistake. Oops, that doesn’t work in the File Browser.

Arghh.

Fortunately the first image had already been put on the Queue, so I was able to export it, but I’d have to re-create my edits if needed.

So:

  1. Did I overlook some way to undo my stupidity in the File Browser?

  2. If not, it would lovely to have Undo available in such a circumstance.

Thanks.

Not that I’m aware of, but I’m afraid you could have checked the Save processing parameters with image option in the queue tab to recover your edit.

You can try to load your exported JPEG file in the Processing Profiles tool

You need to set this in the options to work:

And this also requires the Save processing parameters with image option to be checked.

I have those options enabled:

But this wasn’t:

image316×164 5.77 KB

It is now. Live and learn.

So I guess with the edits saved in the output file I could copy / paste them back to the raw (assuming the raw was queued before any “accidents”).

Thanks.

P.S. - Although it was one of the longer edits in this batch of images, it’s not my favorite so I’m good with simply having an export of it for now.

For the next time, open that first image, then Ctrl+Z (undo). Works here.
