Provide visual indicator of current TTD trace filename

Open Rurik opened this issue 3 months ago • 1 comments

Binary Ninja must provide context of what TTD trace is currently running, likely just as the name of the .run file (with .run extension removed or retained).

Use case: I am debugging an application that requires input during operation. I create a TTD trace file for each of the various inputs I choose. During long periods of debugging, I need a visual reminder of which exact trace file I am in.

Current workflow: Record TTD trace Rename the .out, .run files to specify the inputs I provide, such as 00000., 10000., 31337.* I run TTD debugging and choose the specifc trace I want. I go to sleep and wake up forgetting which trace I was looking at.

What is required: Visual indicator in the UI of which specific trace I am tracing. Suggestions:

  1. In bottom status bar, left, next to debugger status (running, stopped at 0xX)
  2. In PE triage
  3. In Windows title

This output is possible under the 'debugger' console output: Loading Dump File [C:\Users\Admin\Desktop\flare8\traces\00000000.run]

However, this is also a window that is subject to being cleared and data lost.
