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

 

 

 

File > Load...

Loads a previously saved exception trace and displays the data on the user interface.

 

File > 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 > Save...

Saves the current event data as a new exception trace.

 

File > Save As...

Saves the current event data as a new exception trace.

 

File > Close

Clear all results.

 

File > Exit

Closes Exception Tracer.
