Sometimes I want to go back a step in my browser
window in time, to undo a command I sent, like going
backwards in time. Other times I
just want to revert to the prior window without undoing
that command. Sadly, my time-travel license was
confiscated after a horse race betting incident that
totally
was the fault of Sturton and an alternate me that doesn't
even belong to any existing timeline anymore.
WIBNI there were both options available?

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. |
