Description
The "Application Output" pane contains tabs of various running (or terminated) processes.
It provides an X (close) on hover over a specific tab.
To the right of the "Application Output" pane there are some controls. (Re-run, stop, attach)
It is difficult to know which tab corresponds to what process in what state. The user has to manually click through the tabs.
It would be really helpful if the X was replaced with an icon corresponding to the following states:
- Running - red square
- Running but being Debugged - red square with bug icon
- – Maybe - Paused but being Debugged - blue/green with bug icon
- Dead - X
This would also eliminate the need for "Close Debugging Session" and "Application still running" confirmation dialogs as the user has no excuse to not know it is being debugged or running.
