Debugger Settings

Help Index


Show Error Notifier

Controls if, in case of an unhandled exception, the debugView should be opened immediately or instead, a notifier should come up asking the user.
If turned on, an error notifier will be opened, which shows the top 5 contexts of the calling chain and gives a chance of proceeding, aborting or debugging.

Developers might prefer the default, which is to go into the debugger immediately (saves another confirmation-click).

Verbose Backtrace in Debugger

The debugView may show the context backtrace (i.e. the calling chain) either in a dense mode, where intermediate contexts (such as "Block>>value" and some other less interesting stuff) are hidden, or in verbose mode, where all contexts are shown.

This toggle controls the default, to be used by a debugView initially.
(Notice, that the debugViews popUpMenu always allows the mode of to be changed later.)

Most people prefer the dense mode, which shows a less confusing, compact backtrace.
