Yes, the dialog. Sorry, I was a tad drunk. hehe. I think it should be on the history, YES, but not be done by pressing the control-z buttons.
A voting would be a good solution, otherwise we will be keep saying "this is better!" "no, that is better" "this" "that" "banana"
Is it doable to add an option on inkscape preferences to trigger this behaviour?
I'm not sure a vote would be as useful. It only would collect data on people's opinions and their current understanding of the issue.
So, what data would be useful? Since this is a UX issue, I propose a UX test with two parts:
1. Instructions to create a shape, change it's properties, then change the document property, then ask the user to undo the shape change properties. Ask/monitor what they thought would happen. 2. Same as 1. but ask the user to undo the document property instead.
Test is easier to carry out in person, we could put together a spreadsheet to collect the data.
If the data shows people expect document properties to be undone, then we should see to it that all property changes end up in the undo history. Otherwise we can think about removing document properties.
Thoughts?
