Is it possible to create a Stack on the Debugger, so we could check in which Event/SubRoutine/Function/Library we are while debugging? This would be interesting if u work with Classes.
I mean, check picture:

So you don’t think the “Calls” drop-down-box is enough?

Erik,
After I had started to work with classes I found the Debugger User Interface can be improved easily (I believe) and become much better. Please check some suggestions:
All the best,

Sorry – didn’t mean to come across as inflammatory if I did. I just didn’t know if you knew about the “calls” drop-down or not, because it sure beats the heck out of trying to guess how your code got to where it bombed. I do like a lot of the layout changes proposed in your picture, though! A “calls” window would be a nice addition… saving clicks is always nice.

That is something curious that the Debugger had not been updated since I know notes (v4.5). And I believe it is more than just saving clicks, the changes are “quite simple” (since no new information is required), it just asks for changes on the interface.
I really believe the Calls as a drop down box is useless, that is not any handy. Believe we need a more dynamic Debugger (and I had never seen anyone using the Calls it!).
Subject: RE: Oh yeah… re: It can become very useful if it is shown in a better way…
I think the Calls box helps some – it is kind of nice to be able to see your entry points, variables at time-of-entry, etc., but I do like the way you present it much better. As far as modern IDEs go, Designer is definitely lacking in the way of script tools/debugging. It’s much better now than in R5, but it’s still got a ways to go. I mean, we didn’t get type-ahead auto-completion until 2002!
