How does the multi-level undo actually persist across app restarts, and is there a chance of bloating the operation history over time on a huge project?
@baraltunsajsvhΒ
the history stores inverses, not data β each op is a tiny JSON record (op + timestamp + "how to undo it") in Application Support, written after every operation. That's why undo survives relaunch.
No bloat: it's paths only (file bytes are preserved by the Trash / APFS clones, not my log), and the log is capped at the most recent 200 operations. It stays in the KB range on any project size.
Before offering an undo, the app re-checks the current filesystem state against the record β if something else moved the files since, that entry shows as "blocked" instead of guessing.
Multi-level undo with a persistent history is such a lifesaver for someone who nukes the wrong folder weekly. The 0.5s launch genuinely surprised me too, no spinning beachball in sight.

Thank you β "nukes the wrong folder weekly" is exactly the person I built this for π Deletes go through the Trash and stay undoable even after a relaunch, so next week's nuke should be a non-event.
And glad the 0.5s launch got noticed β keeping it beachball-free is basically a religion in this codebase.
