Ability to "revert" files

Post by nvkelso »

It would be nice to have File > Revert to escape the changes and go back to the last saved copy of a document.

Ah ha! You admit to being a Mac user! (That’s okay; so am I. The Windows version has Revert. It came for free, as did Save a Copy. It will be easy enough to add Revert on Macintosh.)

You got me! I would find save-a-copy-as useful to, but revert more so. Often I have a couple maps that have similar but different boundaries and projections so I end up saving multiple copies of the geocart documents for each. I suppose I should just make new maps in each geocart doc, but then I'm unclear which map will apply the params to the image being georef'd.

Meaning, when you create a general reprojection database, if you placed several maps in one document then you would not know which of the maps is the one that supplies the georeferencing for the placed image? Geocart will not allow more than one map and one image to be saved in a general reprojection database.
