Delete undo history on all subtools

ZScripting Help
#1

Here’s a script that some might find useful. It deletes the undo history and older undos on all subtools. - Kinda useful if you want that sort of thing.

// Nuke undo history script
[IButton, "Nuke undo history", "Deletes UNDO history for ALL subtools.",

// create variable equal to number of sub tools
[VarDef, len, [SubToolGetCount]]
[VarDef, msg, ""]
[VarSet, msg, ""]
[VarDef, c, 0]
[VarSet, c, 0]

[VarSet,i,0] 
	[Loop,len,
		[SubToolSelect,[Val,i]] // select the current sub tool
		[IPress,Edit:Tool:DelOlderUH] // Delete Older Undo History
		[IPress,Edit:Tool:DelUH] // Delete Undo History
		[VarInc, i] // i++
		[VarSet, c, i]
	]

[VarSet, msg, [StrMerge, msg, c, " subtools have had UNDO history deleted."]]

// show message for two seconds
[Note, msg,,2]

] // end button

As always, use at your own risk.

nice, thanx for sharing.
it could be just even more optimized as you dont need all these varaiables, you can instead use the loop counter value, so no need to increment with i and c to count the number of subtools. and prevent to press the button when there is no undo history at all for a subtool.

// Nuke undo history script
[IButton, "Nuke undo history", "Deletes UNDO history for ALL subtools.",

	[Loop,[SubToolGetCount],
		[SubToolSelect,n]
		[If, [IsEnabled, "Edit:Tool:DelOlderUH"],[IPress,Edit:Tool:DelOlderUH]]
		[If, [IsEnabled, "Edit:Tool:DelUH"],[IPress,Edit:Tool:DelUH]]
	,n]
	[Note, [StrMerge, [SubToolGetCount], " subtools have had UNDO history deleted."],,2]
] // end button

hope it helps!

Thanks Nicolas,
I’ve had problems in the past where variables weren’t initialized properly and got into the habit of pairing up get & set together.

Short answer :

  • press the button in the
