Tor norbye: ----------- I often want to look at objects to see "who" they are. Currently, it only lists the vm id (e.g. #1234) of the object, and I have to drill down to find out which object I'm dealing with. I'd like to be able to see the toString() instead (it appears that tooltip-evaluation in the editor is doing that). I realize you're not doing this because calling toString may be dangerous and certainly slow. But how about making a new category in the column customizer (currently, it contains name, type and value) which shows the value with toString inlined?
I thing the way JBuilder does this is pretty nice (which doesn't happen often): On the context menu for the variable you choose "Show toString()" which then causes that variable's String representation to be shown instead, without affecting any other variable.
fixed in the main trunk
