Hi - Well, there is already an alternative to the red box.
If the system is in debug mode (World menu -> Debugging -> "Prepare system..." and "Start Debugging") then a debugger window will pop up when an error occurs instead of an error message. Running Lively like this, however, comes with a slight performance overhead. A debugger will also be opened if the option "Debug Morphic Scripts" is enabled and the "debugger" statement is used inside a Morphic script. Additionally, I added an option to the world menu that enables this behavior for all methods in the Lively class system. But beware, this option is still experimental!

This allowed you to read the messages as long as you wish, let you see them without having to open browser tools and change windows, let you easily cut/paste/eval and especially do a -find- operation on any of the text, all almost for free (ie, a tiny amount of code). This, and an LK debugger (and changeSets ;-) would catapult us to a higher level of productivity. > > - Dan > --------------- > On Feb 28, 2012, at 4:28 PM, Robert Krahn wrote: > > > Hi, Ted -- > > > > when you click on error messages they will stay and every error message is also printed to the browser console. > > > > Best, > > Robert > > > > > > On Feb 29, 2012, at 1:11 AM, Ted Kaehler wrote: > > > >> Folks, > >> I like the fact that I can ignore most errors and keep > >> working.
