The undo method takes an irritatingly long time to undo what seems like nothing sometimes. >.>

The undo system works by saving ALL of the ged several times in the .undo file, and when you ask for it to go back a step, it will load the GED from the previous point. The bigger the game, the bigger the wait.

The reason it is there is for gE's recovery file. If you break something, depending on the number of changes you have done, you can recreate your last 3000+ edits. There should be a way of doing that, while still not having to reload the entire file, but that'll take a bit of looking into.

I take back what i said about the undo system. Recently the ged for my smashbros project only half copied to my flashdrive and it wouldnt open when i tried. Well then i read that the undo has a recovery system.

I first tried to open the file with 7zip, which didnt work. Then i dragged the file to the gameeditor shortcut to open it, and all of a sudden 50 backups of my games ged appeared in the folder. I rejoiced as my game had been saved
