Description Brent Fulgham 2007-12-14 22:52:34 PST
The instructions for debugging under Windows omit some useful details.  This patch adds a couple of screenshots and some explanatory text.

Brent, can you "svn add" the images and use "svn-create-patch" to create the patch?  That will include the screenshots in the patch and make it a little easier to land.

Patch to expand debugging instructions for Windows.

These instructions look great!

+<li><p>If you want to see the helpful output debug messages, you should edit the debug settings for the Safari solution (i.e., the pseudo-project created when the debugger attached to Safari):</p>
+<img src="debug_vs2005.jpg">
+<p>You should consider including the command-line switch '<span class="code">/console</span>'.  This causes Safari to run with an open DOS shell in which output messages (created with the <span class="code">LOG</span> macro).</p>
+<img src="console_vs2005.jpg"></li>

I wonder if we should just make debug-safari do this by default? It would require changing FindSafari.
