Undo Tracker for Clip Studio Paint

This is a simple program that counts up the number of times you undo in Clip Studio Paint.

Why?

My friend EternalMasque is a streamer that does art. She wanted to track the number of times she undoes when she draws and show that number on stream. This undo tracker does exactly that.

Install

  1. Download & Install AutoHotKey
  2. Download the Undo Tracker
  3. Unzip the file you just downloaded

Usage

To run the Undo Tracker, all you need to do is go to the folder where you downloaded & extracted the zip file in the install step above and double click on undo-tracker.ahk.

The undo tracker will count the number of times you undo in Clip Studio Paint and write that to a text file called undo-count.txt.

Closing the program

Once you start the Undo Tracker, it will run in the background. To close it, look in your system tray for an icon that looks like the letter H. Right click on that and choose Quit from the menu.

Resetting the counter

To reset the counter, just delete the undo-count.txt file and double click on undo-tracker.ahk.

Integrating with Streaming Software

This should work with any streaming software that supports displaying text from a file and periodically refreshing it.

OBS

Add a text layer and configure it to read from a file. Point it to the undo-count.txt file.

Caveats

This program only tracks undos that are done using the CTRL + Z keyboard shortcut. This means that it will not count the times you press the undo button in the interface or the times you undo using the menu.

This will work if you have a tablet or pen that sends out the CTRL + Z keyboard shortcut when you press a button.
