Number of undo instances

Post by Ianpb »

Does anyone know the maximum number of undo instances that Mixcraft provides?

Inspired by my usual graphics software, it also occurs to me that perhaps the number of undos could be made adjustable (within Preferences) in order to allow for those who are a bit short of available memory.

What I mean is, assuming you've been doing a large number of edits on a project, is the number of undos effectively infinite or finite, and if the latter then what is it?

Hi,

The max is 100000, but some operations entail multiple undo events, so the final value is lower.

Hi Ian,

As to the second part of your question:
I had an exchange on this with someone from the dev team some time ago- I think maybe it was before MX9. I also poked around with a little research of my own on this-
And between that discussion, (I think it may have been Joseph) and my research, concluded that the un-do function in this case actually uses very little memory and that a "throttling" feature would provide very little benefit.
Stay in tune, Mark

Thanks for that.
