JSX: Add to history?

[Khepri]

Hello,

is there a way to add a action (done by plugin) to the history panel? I also testet the PProPanel Example. If an action isnt added to the history, i cant undo (ctrl + z) the action created by my script/plugin.

No; PPro's ExtendScript API operates outside the Undo stack.

Hi,

thanks for your reply. Is there a reason for it? What if someone is working with a more complex plugin, which messes up the footage for some reason?

'Why' questions are more appropriate to a Philosophy discussion, but...PPro's ExtendScript API existed before the undo stack, and (behind the scenes) may do things that would generate multiple undo actions.

Parameter changes to plug-ins (which are very different from extensions!) do operate within PPro's Undo stack.

Your concerns about complex extensions which might do something non-undo-able, are valid. One good idea = many extensions clone a sequence before operating on it.

Many Thanks for your reply.
