Thanks. Since the announce I've added formatting [1] and improved expression extraction.

It's possible to test on windows [1] now. Feedback would be appreciated as I dont have a Windows box. I dont really expect feeback on the widget *itself* as if it works, the experience should be the same as on Linux, i.e same flaws.

To be honest nowadays I just use the popup to detect what is null or not, e.g on access violation.

Note that automatic break on exception requires to debug in two steps [2] because the first time the active frame is too deep (it's the one of _d_throw_dwarf (dmd) or _d_throw_exception (ldc)) so you need to inspect the full back trace, but a BP on source loc pointed by item #2 or #3 and relauch again.
