I think every developer has been irritated by opening there calendar when debugging LotusScript. I have not counted but there is about 10-15 times that continue button needs to be pressed. Then there is another 5-10 times when closing the calendar entry. This is not counting all the continues when reading mail.

What I would like to have is a list of database that I can choose to debug. This screen would replace the non value prompt letting me know that the debug is turned on or off. There are four sections to help control which database should be debugged and which should never be debugged.

Database Being Debugged would contain all the databases that could be debugged.
Currently Opened Databases would allow the quick selecting of applications to add them to the databases to be debugged. Even though the database is being debugged it could also appear in the currently opened database because it is opened.
Previously Debugged Databases would contain the last 5-10 databases that were debugged to quickly re-add them to the debug list.
Never Debug these databases would override the debug all databases but not the debug list.

My favorite feature is the list of databases that would never be debugged. There would still be the feature to debug all databases, but I don't see that being used much anymore. Then I would never have to debug my mail or calendar again.
Finally the 'Add Database' button would allow the selecting of a new database.

So what do you think?

1 - Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes, please please please please.....

Add the ability to only debug specific events for a selected database and I'd be in heaven.

4 - I have not posted this any where else on the web so the chances of this happening are slim at this point.

I like the idea of debugging only selected events but that could get messy very quickly.
