Time Selection

Time Selection in the Timeline View

You can select a particular time in the past in the Timeline View, using the vertical orange marker.

You can move the marker by (1) dragging the top triangle of the marker, (2) clicking anywhere in the gray timeband area at the bottom, or (3) clicking any of the event icons displayed in the timeline.

Once you select a particular time, you can invoke several commands by right-clicking on the top triangle of the marker to launch the context menu.

Tag This Point

Tag the selected time and (optionally) leave a message for that moment, so that it can be easily referred back later on if needed. You can think of this feature as a light-weight version control commit that does not affect your real version control system history.

Undo All Files to This Point

As the menu name suggests, this command reverts all the source files currently displayed in the Timeline View to where the marker is currently pointing at.

Undo All Files to This Point Interactively

Instead of simply undoing all files to this point, this command selects all the rectangles on the right side of the marker position, and then launches the Interactive Selective Undo dialog. This is useful when you want to backtrack to a certain point in time in the history while keeping some code changes.

Undo "[Current File]" to This Point

The [Current File] part is automatically replaced with the actual file name, as shown in the above screenshot. This command reverts only that file to the marker position.

Select All Rectangles After This Point

This command selects all the rectangles on the right side of the current time marker position. Note that this command first clears all the existing rectangle selections.

Select All Rectangles Before This Point

Similar to the previous command, but selects all the rectangles on the left side of the current time marker position.

Deselect All Rectangles After This Point

This command deselects all the rectangles on the right side of the current time marker position. Note that this command retains all the existing rectangle selections on the other side of the marker.

Deselect All Rectangles Before This Point

This command deselects all the rectangles on the left side of the current time marker position. Note that this command retains all the existing rectangle selections on the other side of the marker.
