As long as we’re on it, I’ve never myself really liked multiple undo’s. What always happens for me is that I type command-z too many times. And wipe out something I should have preserved.
So for me, multiple undo’s are more danger than they’re worth! Trial projects, trial pages, multiple versions and the like turn out to be more productive in the end for slow codgers like me.

Who’s harping on about it? Just voicing a popular opinion in the hope the shouts will be heard if enough support the need for it.
I Didn’t buy into freeway to have to understand the heritage and problems they have, we all have problems in our business, it’s how you deal with them and from the amount of people asking for it I’d say it should be higher up the list and might be a bigger priority than a new chargeable upgrade!
As to resources, if some of the smaller players charging less than FW are then why not???

That’s been explained a couple of times now. Harping on about it won’t make it appear any quicker, though. =o(
Don’t think Softpress don’t hear you. I worked with the engineers on documentation for Freeway 4 for a time, so I’ve seen the game from both sides of the fence. They care passionately about Freeway, and you can bet your bottom dollar they’d have coded for multiple undo if it was something simple to implement.
The bald fact of the matter is it’s not a simple matter due to legacy code from over a decade of development. It takes a lot of effort to re-engineer something with a long pedigree like Freeway, especially if you don’t have the resources of some of the bigger players in the game.
Multiple undo is always near the top of the list of features that the engineers want, as well as the users. It will appear at some point down the road, but for now we just have to put up with the workarounds.

Sounds a good idea but still feel a bit unsure as to why this should be worked around having paid reasonable money for the software.
Thanks anyway for the tips.

I agree it’s not an excuse for not having multiple undos, but it is making the best of what you’ve got.

Yeah, I’d like have it too but not by screwing up the great tool FW already is!
The costs to implement a capability like this needs to be weighed against the benefit.
I’m sure Softpress would do it if it was easy.
My opinion as a long time user.

… and totally agree to this WilliamMac,
to hang up the “undo” higher as it should be, I’d never been so far as I am. And I thank softpress for it and I thank all the people here that brought me so far.
I’d like to name them, but by doing so, I’ll forget the rest. And I say this with proud and wiTHOUT SHOUTING IT OUT LOud (sorry, seems to hit the wrong key).

Every major update comes round, and so does the call for multiple
undo. I guess I’ve heard it so many times now, it’s beginning to wear
thin.
What I was trying to say, perhaps rather tetchily for which I
apologise, is Softpress has heard, understands and wants to do
something about it. It’s just it’s not as simple as checking the
“multiple undo/redo” box in the code, and this is why it’s not
appeared yet.
If you like, I’m an apologist for Softpress, but then - like I said -
I’ve seen the situation on both sides of the fence. I make no
apologies for being an apologist! =oD
Even with a single level of undo, I’d rather be using Freeway than
most of the other web development and design software out there.

Uh huh. I think I touched a nerve when I posted this Wednesday.
To all who replied, thanks. It confirms for me that there is, in fact, just One Undo.
I get it, that it’s work to add a feature. I used to write code for apps a LONG time ago. And no one likes to un-sew a garment, or start over.
But I have to pass on this software, and I wonder how many other Trial downloaders do the same, for the same reason, but don’t speak up.
I REALLY like this software, and I would love to make it a staple for all my web work, but I can easily see me becoming violent and dangerous over the the One Undo “feature”.
Back to Windows for me.

Bruce,
It drove me nuts at first… I have a Jersey / Irish temper -so i understand. But I will tell you, hands down this is the best software, support, group of gurus out there.
I save after each change I do… if I like it… JUST IN CASE. I have learned that. But I will tell you, you will never find a more amazing group of people, support for a product or the quality of the product itself.
People here know it has taken me a long time to do what I now know what to do - but am still learning. - trust me still learning. I would never switch to another program.
Reconsider that thought… adapt like most have to use this program. Price wise, I felt it was very reasonable for this program with all the support, actions etc… compared to DW and some of the others.
I hope you reconsider
