But very easy to write tests for :-). And there are ways of making sure that 
recording works everywhere, for instance by making all actions go through a 
threadAction based action processor that optionally records, executes and 
saves the undo information. The problem here is the interactive tools. I'm 
not sure freehand painting needs to be recordable, though. Is it in 
Photoshop?


Wasn't Sebastian Sauer working n a recording library for KOffice some time 
again, btw?
