The Munros All Messages By This Member #173327 My info is as follows: Win 10 Pro?Version 1909? Java 1.8.0_241(en)? JMRI version 4.19.5ish? Digitrax PR4 using Com port 3? Digitrax DCS100 ONLY as a command station? Digitrax DB150 ONLY as a booster Layout Editor connection is Digitrax Simulator This is my first major attempt to get a layout designed before laying too much more track. I've entered info creating turnouts, track segments, & block tables. No Results is displayed when I run the various Tools \|\| Check option. The blocks are in place & the turnouts work when clicking on them. Sections will mimic blocks BUT not yet entered. ? I will eventually remember what does what but I've butchered numerous objects on?the?LE grid so I just delete the?object & make a new object. 99 times out of 100 the object is a?TO. One thing I would really appreciate is a way to "Undo" a mistake. Or is that capability there & I just have not found it? Thanks? Dennis Munro Berlin, WI
Dave Sand All Messages By This Member #173329 Dennis, There is no specific "Undo". ?The implied undo is stopping without storing and restarting. ? Some people use a different file name for each store. ?Others rely on the backupPanels directory which has the previous version from each store. ?I use a mixture. You don't say what you want to undo. ?Most of the time a "redo" is all that is needed. ?If you decide a left hand turnout should be a right hand, then yes, you need to delete it and add the correct one.

The Munros All Messages By This Member #173336 Dave, The VAST majority of the time the object is a turnout. Some how?I have grabbed one of the legs & really moved the object beyond recognition. I do the basic layout at a zoom ratio (in this case it is 1:10) that lets me see the entire layout. I've never tried to set the zoom to 1:4 to re-adjust the turnout back to normal but that should work. If I use your implied undo, then I need to be doing more save's. And that is something I'm learning & is simple enough to do. There are times I've seen the save being saved with the a date/time stamp append to the file name. That is a better way (to me) to name a backup but the date/time stamp is not there consistently for me. What do I need to do to get that to be appended on every save? It saves the message about overwriting the file. What I've done is to delete some of these multiple detail saves & only keep the "major" saves. Looking at the LEPanel xml in Visual Studio, I've noticed there is a section labeled file history. I'm guessing that those that have no file name listed are those files that I deleted? Do I care about the blank entries or do they eventually get cleaned out? If I could (make it an option?) get the save to always append a date/time stamp, that is great. Saving is simple so then an undo is not needed. Thanks.

George Warner All Messages By This Member #173338 An "Edit" menu (cut, copy, paste, undo, redo, etc.) is definitely one of the features I'd like to implement. Unfortunely there is a lot of clean up work to be done before that can be attempted. One thing to note is that every time you store your layout a backup copy is made of the previous store. This means that you can undo everything back to the previous stores just by restarting and reloading the appropriate backup file. It would be convenient if LE had a "reload from disk" option… but that's almost as hard as implementing an "Undo". BTW: You can log issues (including feature requests) at?
The Munros All Messages By This Member #173340 Gearge, Thanks for the info. And also a BIG Thank You to all the "developers" involved in the JMRI project.
