Wow.

Hmmmmmm. Well I do have DP set up to automatically prune anything not touched for 2 hours. 2 hours worth of undos does not seem to cause me problems or to increase the file size significantly under normal circumstances (especially if I'm just editing MIDI).

Perhaps I should change my pruning preferences when I am recording and edge editing a lot of audio... I think I might try that. I almost never go back farther than a couple of undos anyway.

Now, Zed:

We can't even trust the postal service to get you a tiny package in less than two weeks. There's therefore no trusting DP's prune features 100%. So, shave your Undo History default to 50 at most, probably closer to 25 events.

Besides-- of all the wonderful fruits in the world, prunes are the absolute worst of the bunch!!!

Your can "prune" all you want-- but people only grin when things are "peachy".
