- Finder Undo
-
-
- This hack isn't exactly in a finished state... but it does some of what it
- advertises. Install it, and automagically the "Undo" menu in the Finder
- activates after certain actions.
-
- Ok, not very many actions right now. But some. At this point, you can
- undo:
-
- * clean up desktop
- * closing a window
-
- The cool thing is, it's all based on AppleEvent handling and can more
- or less easily be scaled to do more. (I've got an "undo open" commented
- out that doesn't work yet, but could...) And if done properly, it
- would only need to patch one (yes, read it, ONE!) trap. (Too bad it's
- not done properly. ;)
-
- The trick is to tell the Finder to start recording itself, and then
- patch AESend and watch what goes by. F.U. keeps track of that stuff
- and allows you to undo certain actions.
-
-
- ..anyway. Install it and watch it go. It's very much an alpha product,
- so don't run it for long unless you're hacking on it. :> :> :>
