Hi. It'd be nice of the history wasn't linear and it very advanced enough that you can take different parts from differen history.
Usually with the current history when you want to change something you go back to the history (cmd-z) or forward (redo shortcut or on the panel like with photo editing tools) but as we all know going back destroys the work above it.
An analogy would be: after you have created a very nice building, say, a romanesque Catholic Church, they later found out the foundation needs to be completely demolished, there's no way around it, not even a reinforcement. They need to start from scratch destroying every nice art that's been carved on top of th facade. It'd be nice if somehow they can suspend all things that don't need be destroyed while they're replacing the foundation.
It'd be nice for Stingray to have this very advanced back to the future like history wheren when you go back (maybe using a panel like Photoshop), you can choose not to rewind (effectively destroying it) work that's already been done, the work that's on top of it. Same thing goes in reverse, you can kind of freeze the things made in the past as you move forward in the history then reattach (probably within reason if it fits) to future you need to attach that past work to. It'd be a great innovation if somehow the edits you made are not only connected but at the same time has the ability to be independent, that they are not knots in one linear string but rather individual knots (knots representing the edits) in a string that's bundled into one huge knots of string and you can untangle individually if you have to so it is preserved going back into the past and going forward in the history's future.
This would be the ultimate non destructive edit.
This would be extremely helpful of when a client wants to suddently revise something and is willing to pay for the revision (and sometime they of course do not understand that it'll take time coz' the parts are connected and changing or moving a part will affect the others).
If Autodesk can do this, this'll be great for all kinds of applications a revolution so that documents and other things created from the apps would be easier to revise.
Thank you. God bless (all dreams must serve the dream of dreams, the ultimate dream, the king of all dreams: Rev. 21:4)
