+1, it's been a horrible confusing design call even assuming the Journal had version support implemented. FWIW the iPad UI deals with this just great (in at least iWorks apps to my knowledge), the regular undo just works between session if you happen to want to reverse or redo a change you did yesterday. There is no extra keep step, your edit sessions are presumed continuous in time. There's even a mind mapping app I use that goes the extra step and allows you to select past edit states by modification time, not something I'd see as a common need but still an interesting extra (only time I've made use of it is to revert a document right back to the original state). > Here in Peru they are modifying all of the 30 activities on the laptop > to remove the Keep button.

Perhaps we can get agreement to upstream such changes and save deployments such efforts. --Gary > > Daniel > _______________________________________________ > Sugar-devel mailing list > sugar-de...@lists.sugarlabs.org > http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
