The Debug Information Pane

The Debug Information Pane displays the current values of variables and other information useful in debugging processes (see Debugging and Error Handling).

The Debug Information Pane is divided in 4 sections:

• Job Information: Displays the Job Info variables, as well as the job's filename, size, last edit date and presence of metadata (see Job Info Variables)
• Local Variables: Displays all the variables local to this process (see Manipulate Local Variables).
• Global Variables: Displays all the variables global to this configuration (see Manipulate Local Variables).
• Evaluate Expression: Lets you enter a custom expression and displays its value at runtime.

You can use the Evaluate Expression section to see the result of any combination of variable properties (see Variable Properties). To add a new expression, simply right-click in the window and select Add Expression.

Click in the box on the left to edit the expression and add any variable properties or static text you want, and click outside of the box to save it. Once saved, the Value column displays the expression's result.

The contextual (right-click) menu displays the following items when at least one expression is present:

• Copy Value (only when right-clicking an existing expression): Places the resulting value of the expression in your clipboard.
• Revalue all: Refreshes the value of all the expressions.
• Add Expression: Creates a new expression.
• Delete Expression (only when right-clicking an existing expression): Remove the selected expression.
• Clear Expression List: Removes all expressions.
