InDesign's Save As resets the Undos history

I was wondering why InDesign was developed so that it erases history on Save As. What is the logic here?

Photoshop and Illustrator are not InDesign.
I don't know about Illustrator, but Photshop can actually only "undo" a single step. Everything else is handled through the History panel, and is limited to the number of steps you choose to save in the prefs, plus any snapshots (snapshots would be useful in ID, too, but that's a different discussion). I'd never noticed that you could step back through a save as. ID will undo right back to the state when the file was last opened or the last Save As, whichever is more recent, regardless of the number of steps that might be.

  • In Elements 8, is there a way to save the undo history?

    Often times, I cannot evaluate how a filter etc,  will effect a picture until after it is printed out.  If I close the file, the undo history is wiped out.  Is there a way to export the undo list to a text file or something similar so that I can review it afterwards.  Right now, I used a pen and paper to record each change but sometimes I get sloppy.  Thanks in advance.

    No, unfortunately the ability to save history as a text file is only in full photoshop. Some people take a screenshot of the undo history palette, but of course that only gives the steps you took, not the settings for each one.

    Quit the editor, then restart it while holding down cmd+shift+option. Keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • I want to display parked invoices in the PO History tab.

    I want to see the parked invoices in the PO history tab. Is there a way to pull this in? It does not show up on there currently. Thanks!

    Dear Chris,
    In order for the parked invoice to be shown in PO-history, the invoice
    should be assigned to the PO item.
    If not, then technically, there will be no record in the table RSEG
    for invoice.
    If the indicator 'GR-based IV' is flagged, it is not possible to post
    an invoice or park an invoice with PO line item info. if GR has not
    been performed for that PO line item.
    Another possiblity, if you push HOLD instead of "save parked document"
    the PO history won't be update either.
    Regards,

  • Undo History box (question)

    In PSE9 on my MAC I tick the undo history to show it down the right and when I shut PSE9 it stays on teh desktop and I need to tick it every time I open PSE. I'd just like to tick and have it there always... oh and not get it left behind on my destop.

    I've done it ! I have effects / content showing, followed by Layers/undo history and finally adjustments. I'd not come out of the box to think laterally! It was a simeple case of reducing the size of teh layers box to allow Undo to fit properly. By resizing the boxes Elements now opens and closes exactly as it used to. Phew. Thank you everyone.
    Barbara, I'm one of your wee fans, following pretty much all you mention regarding elements

  • Undo history in PSE6

    I've just upgraded from PSE2 to PSE6 and I can't find the Undo History. Is there somewhere in the preferences that I have to set up the number of levels that I want to keep? Any suggestions?

  • Using Mac OSX 10.7.1: recently replaced our DSL modum & wireless router and suddently I can't get some web sites to load. Many do, but Twitter and others often do not. I've reset the browsing historty, forms, cookies and cache but it continues to happen.

    Ok, first thing, why are you doing anything with WAMP or XAMPP when you're running a Mac? MAMP should be what you want unless you're not explaining part of what you are trying to do.
    2nd thing, I haven't used MAMP in a while, but there are two possibilities for not seeing what you want to see once you have MAMP turned on. One possibility is that you already have "Web Sharing" turned on in your Sharing Preference Pane. If that is the case, port 80 will already be taken and you'll be seeing the default Apache install (files are stored at /Library/WebServer/Documents/). This would push MAMP to either not turn on it's web serving capabilities, or to push it to another port. The other possibility is that MAMP defaults to another port anyway. So instead of localhost, you might have to type in localhost:8080 or something similar. I believe the control panel that gets installed can take you to the currently MAMP-served page, and it can also help you change which port your serving on.
    80 is the default port for web serving and the ONLY port that will let you get straight to the server without having to type in webaddress.com:port# instead of just webaddress.com.

  • Cannot save files or use the undo function in InDesign CC

    As of this morning, I am not able to save files or use the Undo function in InDesign CC. Tried many fixes but nothing has worked. I have a ton of work to get done today -- any solutions for this???

    Im viewing this thread because its just happened to me again... my solution is below.
    Im currently running the latest version of  indesign cc (9.2.1) on my brand new 13" macbook pro. (OSX 10.9.4)
    As noted earlier in this thread, when this happens, before you give up and close in frustration,  EXPORT the file as IDML, and your all good!
    Ive had this issue on several occasions using Indesign CC since October. Here are my 2 'Usual Suspects' when this occurs:
    1. culprit: SUITCASE FUSION 5 – deactivate 'auto activation' from within Indesign Prefs. In some cases, i didn't even restart Indesign (much less my computer) for this to work.
    (menu: INDESIGN/PREFERENCES/ SUITCASE FUSION 5 AUTO ACTIVATION PREFS (bottom of submenu list)  Uncheck the top box,  'Auto Activate....')
    Im assuming this was rechecked to auto-activate after an update. Hasn't happened in a while—but sure enough, the auto-activate box was checked again.
    Its a pain having to manually-activate fonts, but its alot easier than redoing a bunch of work!
    2. culprit: CRASH PLAN (online backup)– actually, ive seen this happen with a couple of backup programs. I don't know that this is for sure an issue, but it did resolve the saving issue earlier this year.  I just pause backup for a few hours, then resume. Seems to be ok.
    Steps i took:
    Quit Indesign CC (AFTER EXPORTING the file as IDML!)
    Pause backup within CrashPlan.
    Restart Indesign CC.

  • InDesign crash.. I cannot undo or save. Please help me!

    I was working on InDesignCS6, a document with just two pages.. and suddenly I cannot undo anymore, I tried to save the file but the option was grayed out. This problem occurs since I have a new iMac with MacOS 10.9.2. The only thing I can do when the program crashes this way is to export an IDML file but eventually InDesign crashes again and again. I've tried to reset the preferences but it didn't work. Can somebody please help me? this is driving me insane.

    Export to .idml is the current workaround.

  • I can not view ANY videos on Vimeo, I have 'reset' the Ipad, original IOS 5, cleared the history and cookies, I have changed the DNS number to 8.8.8.8, I have worked on this for 2 days and still can't find a fix, HELP!!

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • How do I prevent Firefox from locking up when I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu (resetting Firefox didn't solve the problem)?

    I'm running Windows Vista Home Premium OS on Dell XPS 420 system. Firefox locks up each time I click on "Save As" under the "File" menu. Resetting Firefox did NOT solve the problem. If, instead of using Firefox, I log on to a website using Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer, the "Save As" feature works fine, as it should. I would occasionally like to save a web page, using "Save As" while using Firefox, instead of copying the page to a Word Document, and then saving it.

    Hello,
    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.
