"Undo" isn't work inside template with a lot of m4l devices

Post by KuzmaKuznetsov » Wed Aug 22, 2018 8:41 am

Hi there!

My undo function isn't working inside a big template with a lot of m4l devices.
Could you advice please, how to understand what device exactly make this issue and how to fix it?

When I try to make undo, I see "undo livedial[9]" in the edit menu of live.

Have a nice day!

Stuff is very often done with the live.object object. It writes its actions in the undo history. You may try to edit your devices by ‘replacing’ live.object by live.remote

First you need to find out which device(s) is causing this.
Then you can:
- follow ChapelierFou's advice
- or change the live.object attribute to not "use persistent mapping"

Thank's for your answer!

Could you advice please how to find out which device is causing this?
I have tried to open each device separately inside a clean project
& to move their parameters,
but no one of it causing this undo issue.
