The undo list would only require some interface changes as FRED keeps an internal list of the last 9 changes anyway (names are in the undo_desc array). |

Right, so the list would just need to be visible to the user (and increased in size). Options on the list could include the ability to click any change and revert to it as well. What would be really interesting is forking in the situation where you revert back and then make a new change, so the previous change branch still exists. Slightly useful but I'd probably consider that above and beyond the call of duty. |

Wait wut...I thought you didn't want this beast of a request... |
|
|

...ugh.
This shouldn't be in Mantis IMHO. Besides, this is one of the things that wxFRED is supposed to take care of. IIRC wxWidgets has an Undoable interface that you can use to keep track of operations. There wouldn't be a need to repeatedly save the mission. |

I didn't know wxWidgets had that kind of stuff built in, I figured anything written for this would also work with wxWidgets for the most part. Also, if feature requests like this aren't any good here, where are they good then? It's marked both low priority and feature severity, so I'm still confused as to why I keep hearing that Mantis is no place for feature requests. |

Mostly because I want Mantis to be exclusively for bugfixing. You can take a quick look at the first page and see that there are 129 open issues. That immediately says how "broken" (for lack of a better word) FSO is. If the first page said 200 open issues, it would be a bit discouraging, especially if there's no quick way to tell how many are feature requests and how many are bugs.
I'm not adverse to opening a separate Mantis repository for feature requests, if we decide we need it. |

Actually that's why I was making some quick filters, with one of the public filters I set up you can easily see that there are 30ish major or higher bugs, which is almost half from a few months ago. Could easily make a feature-less display so that switching to that view was a matter of a couple clicks. If you make features low priority then the Minor and lower one already filters them out as well. But I do see your point, I just don't know where else to throw this so it's not forgotten. |

I maintain my own list of features I want to add. I was just going to let this one grow and then add it to that. :) |

I've added this to my list of features to look into for 3.6.11 |
