Saving DNU for later

Hi,

I was saving a few DNU debug opportunities "to be investigated later" just by minimizing
their windows. Today though I have been clearing out cruft. It appears that my few DNU
saves are holding on to some objects I would like to get rid of, but I don't want to get rid of
these DNUs! How can I save them for later? If I "fileOut" from the debug stack's menu, it
only files out the class method. I could "mail out bug report," but then I think it will go to
the squeak-dev mailing list and people will yell at me. I could get out a piece of paper and a
pencil, but that would take a while. I guess I could take a screenshot...

I could have sworn there was some way to just get the stack as text and save to a file, wasn't
there?

Thanks,
TimJ

[super-ideally, I could just hit a button, and the issue would be sent to someone who cares,
or to Mantis, or into some other bit bucket, so I'm not sitting here pretending I can debug
Morphic or streams...]

Replying to myself:

OK, the solution I have right now is to zoom in (halo) on the debug window until I get to the
PluggableList, then from the red Menu button, I select "copy list to clipboard". This gives me
a textual representation. (I tried doing "copy & print... > copy text" but it caused another
DNU, OrderedCollection doesNotUnderstand: #asText).

Is this the best/only way, digging into a morph's internals? I shouldn't complain, I guess,
since it's pretty cool to just dig at a UI's internals to get what you want.

Thanks,
TimJ

Hi Tim,

You can use mail out bug report. You get to preview the email before it
is sent. You can then either change the To: and send it yourself or copy
the text you require.
