BARfly Help - Node editing - Undo/Redo capability

  Undo/Redo capability

This page describes content of the BARfly Silver and BARfly Gold builds.

BARfly allows you to undo or redo the last immediate edit you performed in an edit control.  To undo or redo text, do one of the following:

  • Edit.Undo/Redo:  Select from menu.
  • Use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Z.
  • Use keyboard shortcut Alt+Backspace.

You can only undo or redo a single operation; you cannot undo a series of operations.

If you do not want to let stand any node editing changes you've made to the data display view, you can "undo" your modifications by pressing the "Reject" button, which is located at the top of the data display window.  There is no possibility of undoing changes to node data that you have explicitly accepted.

You cannot undo or redo node deletion operations.  For this reason, it is a good idea to keep the node deletion prompt setting checked in the Options.Node Data Editing dialog.

All changes you make to edit controls, node data, and the node browser must be saved before they are written back to disk.  If for some reason you have horribly "mangled" a file and cannot undo these changes, you can undo all the changes you've made since opening the file by closing it without saving and re-opening it.
