Photo 2.4 - Can't undo live filter or adjustment layer creation


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Yet another bug with Photo 2.4. Essentially, you can't undo the creation of a live filter or adjustment layers. This worked fine before the update.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Create a new document or open an existing one.
  2. Create a live filter or adjustment layer.
  3. Press CTRL+Z to undo the layer creation.
  4. Undo won't work.

Let me know if you need any further information.

@Alex_M,

This works fine for me. So long as I close the Live Filter or Adjustment. Leaving the dialog up (open) will cause what you're seeing. I think that is not a bug, it's by design. Why? Because the dialog window has the focus, and until one of the buttons on it, or the X (windows) in the upper-right, is selected, it will retain the focus.

So CTL + Z after closing/accepting the filter or adjustment, will undo.

In 2.3.1, Ctrl+Z will Undo the creation of the adjustment layer, even while the dialog is open.

If you have adjusted any of the controls in the dialog (tested with Levels, and moving the White Level slider) then in 2.3.1

  1. The first Ctrl+Z reverts the slider change, and
  2. The second one removes the dialog and the adjustment layer.

In 2.4.0, in the same workflow, Ctrl+Z doesn't do anything.

In both 2.3.1 and 2.4.0, Edit > Undo functions properly.
