You're absolutely right! It seems to me that since we already have the undo system in place, and it is called in all the right places, that that would be a better place to put the macro recorder. > But perhaps this just means that the Undo system needs to be hooked > into the PDB as well ?! That could be cool. You could Undo a couple of times, change the source image a bit, and then Redo, and the Redo would call all the appropriate functions again. > This would also avoid the mentioned problem with PDB functions called > from plug-ins. True, although it's really not that hard to implement a call depth tracker.
