I have undo working correctly in my macOS app, but I have a question
about action names.
The documentation tells you to set the name when registering the action
on the undo stack. The correct name appears in the Undo menu item. The
trouble is when you have symmetric actions, such as add and delete an
item. You do an add, which puts the name "add" for the action. Undoing
it is a remove, which sets the name "remove". Then you have "Redo
remove" as the menu item, which isn't correct.
It seems that the way to get around this is to set the action name only
when you are actually doing the original action, and not when doing the
undo version of it. Is that a correct interpretation? If so, how do you
implement it? Do you test the NSUndoManager's undoing property and only
set the name if it is NO?
Any insights welcomed!
