Strong Undo/Redo

[migf1]

Hey guys,

is there a comprehensive explanation of those 2 commands anywhere? Are they even still relevant?

Google didn't help me much, neither did the docs page. All I could find was a pretty vague "You can now undo/redo multiple steps at once, useful when experimenting", in some rather old Google results.

Yes, they are. From the source code:

For undo:

Code:

/*
 * this function continues to undo as long as it only sees certain
 * undo types, in particular visibility changes.
 */

For redo:

Code:

/*
 * this function continues to redo as long as it only sees certain
 * undo types, in particular visibility changes.  Note that the
 * order of events is set up to make it exactly reverse
 * gimp_image_strong_undo().
 */

So it is mostly about skipping visibility changes in the undo stack.

Oh nice! Thank you @ofnuts!
