Feature Review: Undo/Redo, Auto Save
6/30/2011 < Previous Next >
Okay, a new feature like Undo/Redo is not one of those that's going to draw any attention, but for those of you who have been using SongShow Plus for sometime, you will be glad to know that, in the March 2011 Edition, Undo/Redo has been added to both slide show editing and program editing. There is not much more to say about it other than it's finally there!
Also new is an auto-save feature for programs. It is disabled by default, but many of you will want to enabled it based on numerous requests for this feature (Tools > Preferences > Program Panel).
Auto-save has not been implemented for slide show editing. It may be in the future, but I'm trying to decide if I really think that is a good idea or not.

Yes, autosave for slideshow editing makes sense. 
If it makes sense for other slide show building software, it should make sense for SlideShow Builder. But, of course, that's just my logical conclusion that I've drawn.
Any limits to what undo/redo will undo or redo? Like deleting an object or moving an object on a slide?
I am looking forward to this!

No limits on undo/redo -- at least not any that are intentional.

The addition of undo/redo, ctrl S for SAVE, and autosave are good additions. No one has to use any of them, but for us guys that are prone to errors, they each give a little extra security and will save some time and effort. Thanks for adding them.
