[Usability] Make it possible to Undo

[plouj]

What parts of Meshlab would need to be changed to support an undo history for non-destructive editing?

[SHMAUS-Carter]

Undo is an extremely important feature to add

I am aware of that. It just requires a huge reorganization of the core of meshlab. We are working on this, but it will require time.

any update? this is basically a deal breaker for almost everyone

[alemuntoni]

As I said, I am aware of this. Unfortunately, the whole core of meshlab and vcg has not been written thinking about this scenario. Since our resources are limited, making this feature available will require a lot of planning and development. At the moment, I can say that it won't be available anytime soon. Sorry.

you have done some great work indeed however I think that building a state buffer into the application or underlying framework would be such a huge win. feels like a crazy oversight in terms of general usability for a popular, professional application not to have a simple "undo" option anywhere

I appreciate the work you do keeping this project free and open source. However, I find Meshlab extremely frustrating to use without a tool as critical as the undo button. One accidental click means I have to restart from scratch. This pain is amplified since there is no form of auto-save either. I would love to see the development team prioritize this feature.

any progress on the undo feature?
