Undo Tool Return Action

X-Tender · Mar 12, 2006#12006-03-12T21:38+00:00

Hi,

I created a tool that returns me some values and replace the selected text with it. Well, the problem is that I cant Undo this action. So after I ran the tool and it released my selection .. no undo.

Is this a Bug or a Feature?

It's definitively not a feature and in your point of view it is a bug. Report it by email to IDM support. Maybe the developers can change it.

As workaround if possible you can save the file before running the tool and then if you want to undo the selection use File - Revert to Saved. But the undo chain is still broken, so you can't undo steps before saving the file.

Well it looks like that it is not possible to implement..

Well, I have a second workaround for you. Run your tool via a macro.

IfSel
Clipboard 9
Copy
NewFile
Paste
SelectAll
RunTool "Case-sensitive name of your tool"
SelectAll
IfSel
Copy
EndIf
CloseFile NoSave
Paste
ClearClipboard
Clipboard 0
EndIf

I entered the macro code here directly without testing it in UE. Hope it works. This solution will not break the undo chain on your source file.
