Feat-Request: "Open Any Stacks" in Event viewer should work with multiple events

[rauhs]

Feature request:

Currently I can select a single "Time MSec" column/row in the event viewer for an event with HasStack=True and presst "ALT+S" to open the stacktrace of that event ("Open Any Stacks" in the context menu).

But: I sometimes have thousands of events (e.g. filtered by "Text Filter" or whatever) and then I'd love to just display these events in the stack viewer all together.

Could we extend this functionality so the stack viewer can properly open up whatever is selected?

I might have another intern/student that could work on that. Copilot is welcome too :)

@rauhs seems very reasonable to look into this. Thinking about the new ways that we're working, I think copilot can do a lot of the heavy lifting here. I think the key would be to have a clear design before we let copilot do its thing.

I'm not sure how you/your company are working, but I'd be happy to delegate this kind of work to an intern as I feel this helps to train developers of the future. If you have an intern that can put together a plan, I'm happy to review it, and then either they, or I can have copilot actually do the implementation and they can do the testing.

How does that sound?

@brianrob Sound fantastic!

I have a student who could work on that for 2 weeks at the End of April. I guess we'll review existing PR's by Copilot on how to approach "creating a plan for copilot".

I'd be happy to delegate this kind of work to an intern

If you mean to and intern within Microsoft this would of course also be great.

=> If this ticket is still undone by end of April I will assign the student to it.

@rauhs, sounds great. I did mean I'm happy to have you assign this to a student. If you want to have them write code, I'm happy to have them do that too. I can see this happening in a number of ways, including:

1. The student designs the feature and implements it themselves (we should still discuss design ahead of time).
2. The student designs the feature and uses AI on their own to implement it.
3. The student designs the feature, I trigger copilot to implement it, and they test it.

Or anything in-between. Just let me know how you'd like to proceed.
