Debug Globals a bit of a mess [message #1753928]

I have a pretty big problem with the globals(sorry Shocked

). The problem is I see the entire set of all globals from every include, which is great, but the organization is terrible. It generally takes me a 10's of seconds to find the global I am looking for and when I have to find another one I have to spend another 10's... then if I want to go see the original variable I have to repeat this process more or less.

Surely we could have only the globals of the current file put in a separate table? e.g, "Direct Globals"... or whatever?

I do not think this is what I'm talking about. I am referring to globals listed in the variables window. The globals of the shown while debugging. There are too many, which is fine, but so many that it is hard to fine what I am looking for. Some sort of organization needs to be added. If the globals are sent from the client debugger, I could probably sort them the way I want... just not sure if it's something possible without having LDT source.
