Can anyone help, CMD Z used to simply undo whatever the last action was ie if i applied sharpening it undid what had been applied.

Now i seem to get the message

Undo Save History State for Image

every time i hit cmd z. to actually undo the sharpening i have to hit cmd z twice in quick succession.

any ideas how to revert back so that it actually undoes what i have done on the first 'cmd z' click?

thanks
 
Drop down the History menu on the LH side panel in the Develop mode and you will see the history steps of the image, allowing you to revert to any of them .

cheers bryn but thats not quite the problem i have. Appreciate the anserw but the issue is with the cmd Z fundtion. Its changed from actually undoing the last action to now haveing this strange extra step where it says 'undo history state for image' but doesnt actually undo it. Its like its undoing the lightroom 'save history' rather than undoing the actual last action...hence having to hit it twice in quick succession for it to actually undo the wb or sharpening etc.

Is there a wayt of resetting lightroom to its default keyboard shortcuts?

Is it the case that you were actually doing an export and using the undo command at the same time, as seems to be the case in the link topic?

correct
I was running an export at the time. I wasnt aware of the overlap but it seems cmnd Z whilst an export is ghappening doesnt do what it normally does.....
 
Was the undo command related to the images in the export or was it simply your moving on to another edit on another image not in the export group?

the undo command wasnt 'undoing' the edit i had applied to the image whilst a seperate export was going on.

I was exporting a few hubndred images from a wedding, whilct editing images from another wedding. It wouldnt undo the edit on the initial press of 'CMD Z'. it just gave the message above.
 
So it's the case that you cannot edit new images while doing a batch export, interesting. Might be worth going to the Adobe user site support to ask the question.

images can be editied whilst the export is happening. Its purely the CMD Z 'undo' function that is impacted.

During an export of (say) 100 images to disk a background task is created which records the export date/ time against each of the images history. Unfortunately it would appear that each of the 100 “Save history state” is also being put into the user “undo stack”.
The upshot of this is that if the user is performing image development at the same time as the export, then from a user’s perspective the undo functionality becomes useless because ...
Undo now simply ... a) undoes one (who knows which) of the image export state history changes and ... b) does not undo what the user last did in development such as a slider change.
