4r8 - minor UI ease of use for ZPR undo history

ZBrush Artworks
#1

its slightly unintuitive for the undo history to be toggled on and off in the file>“undo history” setting. no matter what is set under preferences nothing will happen unless its turned on in the document. sure I get it but what makes it worse is that you cant store this setting to be ON for the default document. you need to turn it on every time.

solution: enable the saving of the “undo history” setting to preferences or the default doc. so the user doesn’t need to toggle it on/off all the time. or remove it and just rely on the settings under preferences to control if the user wants this feature. (having it also under file seems a little redundant. )

The point about having the Undo History option in the file palette is that you can easily switch it on if you want. This is useful if you only occasionally want to save the history. But I acknowledge that this is irritating if you always want to save it.

There’s an easy solution. A macro can be made to turn on the option and then launch the Save dialog. Save the file to ZBrush 4R8\ZStartup\Macros\Misc folder and then press Macro>Reload All Macros. The new Save As button ill be in the macro>Macros>Misc sub-palette. You can assign a hotkey, and make the button part of a custom UI, if you wish.
