Tracer

Running session indicator

Every once in a while we forget we started a tracer session and it is left running while we work on other things. Tracing operation is resource intensive and will cause a slowdown. To remind us that Tracer session is running the window title is animated.

Errors and warnings navigation

Similarly to Chrome browser extension created by Piotr Olejniczak PDT can jump to first Error or Message captured. Additionally PDT allows to jump to next or previous error or message by using arrow buttons.

Number of errors is shown when any button is used.

Hide columns

PDT allows to close less needed columns (THREAD, INT, RULE#, ELAPSED) to give a more focused view.

Bookmarks

You can highlight a row by right-clicking on a step number.
