Description

Hi, I am using the following code in order to customize the error message shown to the user when a http request fails.

req.on('error', () => {
                const error = new Error('Custom error message.');
                error.stack = null;
                unhandled.logError(error, {
                    title: 'Custom error title'
                });
            });

However, the error popup also shows a stack trace at the end of my message, that I would like to hide, is there any way I can achieve this? image

Research direction
Look at the source code of logError function, likely in `index.js` or similar. Add an option parameter (e.g., `showStack: true`) to control whether the stack trace is displayed. Ensure that when `showStack` is false, the stack is not appended to the error message. Update the documentation accordingly.
