History Branching

[babeard]

I absolutely love the history feature in Designer! It goes beyond any other similar tool that I've used in the past. However, I think there is a feature that could be added that would make it even better.

 

Problem:

 

When traversing your history, it is very easy to accidentally perform an action, like deselecting an object, thereby erasing all the other "future" actions from the history panel. From what I can tell, this cannot be undone.

 

Requested Feature:

 

Whenever you make a change while traversing your history, branch the history so that you are able to return to the original branch/path.

This would be awesome when combined with snapshot, selective copy/paste of history and save history in document.  It's like a virtual copy feature on steroid.
