Suggested improvements to profiler
Posted: Fri Oct 26, 2007 3:16 pm
I didn't realise there was a 'turn on profiler' button for a long time.
Views which depend on the profiler button being pushed (such as the Hotspots or Invocation Tree views should indicate when profiling is not active rather than just being blank and providing no controls or information to help.
I kept looking at those views and couldn't establish how to make the profiler active. The context help file points you to a configuration panel under Options > Preferences > XML > XSLT-FO or something. This doesn't include a 'turn on profiling' control either.
Perhaps these views should provide information or a link to the help file which details how to turn profiling on.
