When you build a standalone there's an option to report errors in an email
or a file. The purpose is to allow users to send error info to the
developer. These are raw error messages like Dan saw and are of no use to
the user, so translating them makes no sense.
But you're right that new users probably don't have an errorDialog handler.
I've seen error lists appear in the message box too, but I do have that
handler in the stack script.

True, but what would anyone go out of their way to write an error

left alone?
And some of the error info I see shared in the forums is from newer
users, who seem unlikely to have ventured into the relatively arcane
world of custom error processing.
I hope I simply misunderstand what I've been seeing, that perhaps there
isn't something broken in recent versions of the IDE's error handling.
In Dan's message from yesterday he wrote:
1. Why didn't the debugger throw an error? Instead, it put this error
chunk in the message box?
@Dan: Do you have a custom errorDialog handler in your message path?

If there's an errorDialog handler, errors bypass the IDE. That's one way it

Where did Jacque get that list of codes?
From a plugin Richard and I wrote some years ago. It dynamically loads the
error list based on
the version of LC you're using. You can look up individual codes, or paste
in a list of errors
which is what I did with your report.
Tools like that can be useful at runtime to help fill out logs and such.
But I've been seeing a surprising number of conversations here and in
the forums suggesting that people are seeing raw error info in the IDE.
If that's true, what broke with the IDE's more guided error handling?
