P: How to disable multiple nudge-items in the history?

Hi Julie,

If you click Help > System Info you'll get a dialog containing a TON of information on your system.  Scroll down to the very bottom of that display and look under "Optional and third party plug-ins" and "Plug-ins that failed to load" and "Extensions".  On a "vanilla" install, you should have to Camera Raw plugins for the first category, nothing in the second, and Libraries, Welcome, and Behance for the third.

Thanks,
David

How do I find out which are installed please?

Photoshop CC 2015 doesn't support XP.

Double check the extension panels you have installed - it does sound like you have a third party panel that is hosing the history state.

Starting with CC 2015, I am having the same problem with nudges recording as multiple history states. I am using PS CC 2015 on a Windows XP. I do not sign into Creative Cloud from PS because my husband and I use the same CC account and have different preferences so we don't want the computers to sync. I disabled the Load Extension Panel checkbox and now nudge records as one history state. I do not believe I have any third party extensions installed. I would be glad to check for them if you can point me in the right direction. If there is any other information I can provide that will help to solve this problem please let me know. Thanks!

Hi Chris and Sticky. :)

We’re using the sendDocumentThumbnailToNetworkClient function to grab the contents of the canvas. I don’t believe we’re adding events or doing anything that should change the behaviour of the history panel.

We’re happy to make any needed changes on our end.

Thanks for the update, David. Glad my information helped.

Howdy Kathleen,

Thank you.  Your steps clearly demonstrate the problem.  This does look like a bug and I've gone ahead and logged one.

Hopefully, we'll have a resolution soon.

Thanks,
David

Yes, if that is inserting events between your nudges, that would cause the behavior you describe.

I'm having this same issue and I have narrowed the problem down to using a program called Skala Preview, which allows me to see a live preview of my Photoshop file on a mobile device (https://bjango.com/mac/skalapreview/)

I'm signed into Creative Cloud and I also have everything unchecked on the Plug-Ins section of the Preferences panel except Enable Remote Connections, which is required to run Skala Preview.

The nudge history behaves as expected if I have not launched the Skala Preview app. However, once I launch that app, the History panel logs every nudge, which is soooo frustrating.

I'm going to submit a support ticket to the makers of Skala Preview now. It would be great of Adobe could reach out to them to get this sorted.

Hello. I also noticed this issue. Upon further troubleshooting, if I nudge a Text layer, a Smart Object (a layer that was brought into PS CC by using File > Place), a shape, a layer with brush strokes (I'm sure others, that is just what I tested), the Nudge history is as expected - one line in the history until going off the layer. However, going to the layer where I noticed the issue to start with, it is a layer that was dragged in from AI as a Vector Smart Object that I also used Puppet Warp on (Smart Filter), and for this layer the Nudge consumes the history palette recording a line for each nudge, which is most definitely not helpful! Same behavior if I create a layer, make it a smart object, and add puppet warp. However, if I create a layer (simple brush line) and leave it as a pixel/rasterized layer, apply puppet warp and nudge, the nudge is only 1 line in the history. Looking at other Smart Filters, applying Liquify to a Smart Object layer, the history palette behaves as expected (one line for multiply nudges on the layer).
