==================== Summary ====================

Name: System-dtl.981

Ancestors: System-mt.980

For emergency evaluator handling, Project class>>handlePrimitiveError: will first try to find a parent project of different type (e.g. MVC if current project is Morphic, or vice versa). If found, the other project is opened, and the error is handled there. If no such project is found, then the traditional emergency evaluator transcript is opened.

Extend this strategy by first checking parent project types, and if not successful search all projects to find any project of different type.

A typical scenario is the case of an image with many Morphic projects, and one MVC project anywhere in the project hierarchy. In the event of an unrecoverable error in any of the Morphic projects, the MVC project will be identified as the project for emergency recovery. This permits an MVC debugger to be used to recover from the error condition, after which the failed Morphic user interface can be reentered.
