Description Adam Spiers 2018-11-06 12:08:29 UTC
Currently the undo history shows a very vague list of events, such as "Enable effect" or "Resize clip end".  This makes it quite hard to find a specific event in a long list of events.  There are several ways in which this could be improved.  Implementing any one of these would make things significantly better, but the combination of all of them would be a quantum leap in usability of this window:

- Add an extra column showing the exact wall-clock time when the event occurred.  This would make it easy to do things like "undo all edits made since 11.30am".

- Each event should reference the specific clip / effect / other objects with which it is associated.

- Right-clicking on an event could jump to the UI element representing the object which that event modified.  For example, right-clicking "Enable effect" would focus the clip for which the effect was enabled, and right-clicking "Resize clip end" would focus the clip being resized, moving the playhead to the new end of the clip.

It took some time, but I finally implemented the timestamp in undo history:
