When in the course of undo events, it becomes necessary to introduce multiple undo managers, certain issues arise. For example: How to handle the document change count?
I currently have at least a half dozen independent undo managers for my document, which I keep in a bank near the document level. Each undo manager is monitored for change notifications, and dings the document's change count appropriately. This seems to work, except that, being the meticulous systems engineer that I am, I'm a strong believer in Murphy. For a new or newly opened document, this will correctly ask the user to save when the document is closed, and then zeros the doc's change count. However, if the user first saves the document, then decides to change something in one undo context, then undoes something in another undo context, the change count will be zero and closing the doc will not ask for a save. (Doing such changes in the opposite order will pop the "undo after save" dialog.) Anyway, this is not the desired result. It looks like I need to maintain individual change counts for each undo manager, zero them all on "save". When closing the doc, ANY non-zero (positive or negative) change count should trigger the "save" dialog. Am I making this too hard, or is there a more straightforward way? Also, why the heck is there no accessor to read the doc's change count? I could let the doc handle it if non-zero, and otherwise scan the undo bank and pop the save dialog is necesssary. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
