Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/feature-request-compress-history-stack.

I often find myself forgetting to compress the history stack and occasionally get warnings about very many stack levels and masks (forgot the precise wording). I would be useful to be able to select a bunch of pictures and compress all their history stacks, rather than having to do that one picture at a time.
