I notice that there are two independend undo methods available. The one undoes the scene, the other undoes the camera view. I find this very confusing. Especially when you try to synchronize the undo of both to have the same look at the same problem.

Wouldn`t make it more sense to have just one undo? With the option to activate and deactivate camera undo? Especially because the undo view doesn`t show up in the undo stack.

What do you think?

While I'm all for losing fat...
Please not here.
That's no fat.

Actually there's even a third undo-stack (when activated): Selection-Undo.
Making this separate is highly useful too.

I don`t want to remove it. I just want to handle it different because the current way is confusing to me :)

fail to see how that is confusing since most apps don't even let you undo view changes at all, personally i like separate scene, select and view undos, and use all of them.

It`s not about other apps doesn`t have it at all, it`s about a possible improvement :)

In tS i have camera undo connected with main undo. I don`t need to care about the correct view that way. I perform an undo until i am back at my problem, and find myself in the same view than before.

This is not the case with the current way in Nvil. Here i have to hit undo to get back to the problem, then switch the buttons to perform camera undo until i am back at the correct view. And i may need to repeat this steps at both ends to match the problem with the right view. And this is something that i find confusing and uncomfortable.

But okay. You find it handy to deal with it in the current way. And you are not alone it seems. Accepted. Was just an idea anyways :)
