Contextual Expression Errors Bar - Contextualized to appear ONLY IN Active Comp

[Roland Kahlenberg]

This has bothered me for ages and thought it's time to file this cos it's leading to very unproductive sessions.

The Expression Error is of course great. However, it works on a Project-wide basis and this is also great - but not all the time. There are quite a few times when I only want to see/knowOf Expression Errors related to the Active Comp.

This will make trouble-shooting a lot easier., more focused  What also needs to happen is for a button/something to be available in the Comp Panel to allow the user to switch between viewing Project-Wide Errors and Active Comp Errors. 

Sometimes, errors are part of a setup as it is common for Expressions to reference Layer Names and Effects and these may not yet exist/beRenamed or perhaps they may not be required for the current use-case.

Maybe not a button because the interface is already very crowded.
But why not use color coding.
For example, use a red background if the error is in the active composition.
And if there are multiple errors in the project, prioritize displaying the errors in the active composition.
This way, if we see an error with a yellow background, we know that the error isn't in the active composition and is likely secondary.

It would look something like this:

Interesting. However, an Expression Error in the Active Comp should also be an Error when in Project-Wide Viiew. So, the logical separation should be - 

A - Show All Errors - all Comps, including Active Comp
B - Show Errors only in Active Comp

I don't want a case where we get, Show All Errors EXCEPT Active Comp. This is dangerous IMO plus I don't see how this can be useful BUTT I'm willing to listen if you have use-cases for this.

The Different Color Coded Bars is a good idea. I would still be concerned with the UI being easy-to-find in terms of the user knowing they can change the type of errors shown as well as how/where to change it.
