Hi Tim,

"The drag stuff" tells me you don't have a firm grip on the purpose
and scope of the use-cases. MessageTrace uses swipe to select
multiple methods. It's rightly confined to what you trace, DnD
outside its browser doesn't make sense for tracing.

That would result in multiple, unrelated Trace's all in the one
window. I don't understand why you'd want to do that.

I'm thinking here of using a messagetrace browser and wanting to add little (pop-up?) notes to remind me of any points I notice as I follow the messages up and down. Why was I looking at this? What is it related to? All that stuff it is so easy to forget a week later when you start climbing back up the rabbit hole you fell into.
Why not simply send Object>>#todo, and include a comment next to it?
No little pop-ups please!
