This is not a bug, just a suggestion

Can we have a Clear method on Debug ?

Debug.Clear();

cool ...

PS: you could already do it using some Windows APIs though. But simply Debug.Clear() would be much easier

On the same 'debug window' note: I really miss timestamps

And I want to (in the latest beta) be able to clear the contents of the Debug Information inside the script editor. This is only possible by disabling the Debug Information, and enabling it again, really annoying.

Ehmm.. i think you can click on Debug (ComboBox) and click on "Clean debug window" option

Btw.. im wondering why can't do this..

function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(ChatWnd) {
  var Contacts = ChatWnd.Contacts;
  for (i = 0; i < Contacts.Count(); i ++) {
    contacto = Contacts[i];
    Debug.Trace(contacto.Email);
  }
}

I think is much easier then Enumerator

vikke : will be done. Just press Esc or Backspace in the editor debug window (next beta) to clear it.

I'll see about adding a Clear() API.

Yes you can, for the standalone debug window. Vikke's suggestion is about the debug window in the script editor itself.

1) ChatWnd.Contacts isn't an array. It is an enumeration object.
2) Enumerations is equally easy and long as your code to program.
3) Enumerations are much more safer for stuff like that. In fact, your code will not show all contacts if a contact was added during the for...loop. The same problem will happen when you are actually manipulating the items and some item gets deleted from the list. In that case your i value will be bigger than the value of Contacts.Count resulting in an error and failure of the script.
4) In short: avoid using arrays for stuff like this.

That would be great! It would also help break up the messages a bit more.  It may also be nice to use a rich edit control rather than just an edit control so that we can use colours to quickly tell the difference between the messages without reading it fully (may also make it easier to get people to look through their logs when they have a problem).

but isn't 'Del' more logical?

(this is also what is used in other programs to clear non-editable textboxes... goes in the same line for when you want to delete a selection. So I think it is more logical than using Esc or Backspace.)

(and maybe also enabling this in the standalone debug window would be cool => ps: also by using DEL you wont conflict with the already closing of the window by pressing ESC)...

Alright for Del instead of Esc.
