The File menu controls loading and saving of previously saved exception traces.

 

 

 

File menu Load... loads a previously saved exception trace and displays the data on the user interface.

 

File menu Convert Remove redundant steps from file... loads an exception tracer file, removes any redundant steps from the file and then saves the data to a new file.

 

 

 

 

 

A redundant single step is a single step that doesn't change the filename and line number.

 

Removing redundant single steps is very useful for making an unusably large trace full of single steps into a smaller more useful trace.

 

Although this conversion process is slow and time consuming it is much faster than re-recording the trace with more restrictive single step settings.

 

File menu Save... saves the current event data as a new exception trace.

 

File menu Save As... saves the current event data as a new exception trace.

 

File menu Close clear all results.

 

File menu Exit closes Exception Tracer.
