Hi Paul,
Is it possible to get ZB debug multiple Lua scripts? My app has many running
in separate threads. It appears if ZB has scripts open then it will try to
debug them. Then I’m not sure if moddebug/ZB knows which script to debug. Is
it the one at the front tab? Should all other scripts be closed in ZB?
Regards,
Steve

Yes, starting from v0.70 ZBS includes "Project | Detach process" (also on the
toolbar on the right side next to Stop). This will stop debugging, but will
continue the process without "killing" it.
Another option that I use for environments like this is to set "os.exit =
require('mobdebug').done" in your application after "require('mobdebug')",
which will have the same effect as described above when you hit "Stop
debugging" in the IDE.
In a similar way you can change os.exit to some more complex code that will
stop debugging (using done() and then do whatever graceful shutdown you need to
do in your application).
