If I follow-- the idea is a "display back" button separate
from the "back" button. The "display back" button
reverts the display to show the previous window, tab, or
display
configuration. |

I would like this for CAD drafting-- to undo a change to
the view state without undoing the recent design
changes. This would be very useful. |
|
| |
No. If you hit the 'back-undo' button, I presume it
would untoss them... |

At work I am doomed to work in Oracle through a
browser interface. Sometimes I want to just go back
and see the contents of a prior screen, while other
times I want to traverse to a prior link but with my
commands on the current screen enacted. |
|
| |
Also if jumping back and forward (undo redo or whatever) should continue to branch the multiverse, so that you can revert to any branch of the tree. |
|
| |
I think having computers keep tabs of an entire tree
and command history therein and all possibilities of
command branches from there would cause a
ginormous system problem with databases not
knowing what entities were valid and what weren't. |
|
| |
I have an idea like this, searching... Hmm not exactly the
same, linked... |
|
| |
[RayfordSteele]; is there a way to "live record" a video
stream of your screen? Perhaps playback could be on
another screen, able to rewind & pause (my TV can do this
for broadcast; I keep meaning to try it with other inputs...). |
|
| |
Nope. That would be a bad bad no no where I work. |

Just to clarify, do you mean you're working in an application built
using Oracle Forms, or writing queries against an Oracle database,
or what? |
|
| |
Option 2: do a screengrab every time you go to a new page.
It will just sit un-used in your clipboard; unless you need it
then you paste it into Paint (or whatever). (I have done
this.) |
|
| |
Yeah I could dump screengrabs into OneNote, which
I sometimes do. But usually in the course of
searching around, it's not predictable which I'll need
later. |
|

We use several methods of interfacing with Oracle.
Forms, Product Manager, and a web-based front
end. While I despise the forms UI, it's at least fairly
stable, while the web-hyperlink based UI is anything
but. Navigate anywhere and the data entry page
you're on crashes out with a "stale data error." |

<Imagines a special history tab containg each tab's
commands and links as a sphere tag cloud on a

Surely the computer could precis, form a wider
dictionary, of the browser history. The numbers of
actions are not that many. The record of 176
Words/minute equals 105 thousnad words in a ten
hour
day. 2 to the power of 17 records. |
|
| |
To undo posting a letter , a next day buffer is also
needed . So it does depend on if the action is
reversable or not. |
|
| |
But there are also alternative actions the computer
could present that could alter data on the network in
other ways, providing an ever-widening tree that
conflicts with other users potential choices. |
|
| |
This is afterall a shared database. |
|
| |
Stiil have to choose the right alternative, take the right action or it becomes ground hog day while still loosing ground. |
|
| |
And very annoying the network users with transient data that can't be relied on. |
