No Backwards List

When I have to go back after doing something wrong, it is difficult to find the right action, one wants to go back to.
Unfortunately there is no list of actions like in WORD. Or don't I see it?

There is no list of undo actions.

Thank you for the reply, Heyvern.
That makes me very sad.

Can this be done with a script?

IMO a good way to do this would be to add a string parameter to the "PrepUndo" call to describe the action about to be performed (e.g. instead of PrepUndo(layer), call PrepUndo(layer, "Add Point") or, if the string is absent, default it to the script's Name function -- as in PrepUndo(layer, self:Name()) ... I'm guessing that adding a string to the "block of data that AS hold to describes how to perform the undo" is reasonably straightforward... so consider this a proposal for a feature request.

I don't get this, because I was raised differently. We had Photoshop and only 1 Undo. Only 1. That's enough. In order to revert more complex actions, we had to throw away and start again, or made additional copies of different stages.
I never became familiar with the concept of "history". I know what I have done, so I can do it again. And I'm much faster this way than by digging through some past actions.

Happy tiger! But we still need protocols and snap shots . . .
