[Improvement] History Granularity [Lightroom]

When I’m turning a Dial or Orbiter Ring, if I turn it very swiftly, it gets recording in the image’s History as one adjustment (for example, “Exposure +1.30”).  But if I turn it slowly, the History panel gets filled up with a couple dozen “Exposure +0.05” entries.  While there is perhaps a concern here about this many entries (dozens of entries X several different parameters X thousands of images = database bloat), having the History filled with all these makes it difficult to go back to an earlier point.

Suggestion: change this behavior (or add a setting) so that the change doesn’t go into History until the movement of the control in question has definitely stopped (like maybe after half a second of no movement).

  I agree with the above suggestion.

  When I edit photos there is always a lot of scrubbing of a particular slider until I come to the desired look. The problem is that when using monogram to do this "scrubbing" over a particular sider asepcially if the turn of the dial is very gentle there are a ton of unnecessary history entry points which technically renders the history panel almost useless as one is looking to a never ending list of "Exposure" or "Contrast" adjustmets. If you study how Lightroom works when one uses the keyboard or the mouse, the history point doesn't get created until Lightroom understood that the user as stopped "scrubbing" that slider. For instance, if one clicks on Exposure in the Develop mode and then uses the +/- keys to change that exposure up and down, the change doesn't show into history until after  1sec of inactivity from the user. Monogram should work in a similar fashion like Michael C described above.

  Hi Monogram Support have you got any news for us in regards to the above improvement suggestion? As it's been 2 years since this post was created and such a small improvement would make a huge improvement in the user experience and the use of Monogram a lot more enjoyable in Lightroom.
