Description shaunhicks01 2007-11-13 13:38:17 UTC
Just a couple of nice to have features for the profiler in NB6:

* Ability to turn off verbose naming for profiles.  For example, Yesterday 11:01:00 could just as easily be served with
11/12/07 11:01:00.  After a week, "Last Monday" starts to go out of scope and you need to check a calendar for doing
comparisons.

* Add comments to a profile.  Many times, I'm profiling different situations within the same application and need to
know the differences in the profile(s) w/o having to keep an external directory and reference list to the profiles.  I'm
thinking this is an easy fix just by adding an extra XML tag for "user-comments".

* Ability to (re)name profiles and see the date stamp in the list of profiles saved.  For example, "5x record save test
- 10/26/07 10:52am" is more helpful than just "10/26/07 10:52am".  Many times, I test multiple situations and want to
see change impact in profiling on all cases w/o having to manually record them.  This could be a user preference and the
extra description info stored at the top level of the profile's XML.

* A compare of 2 profiles (within reason).  If you change one method call and profile the same way in 2 different
profile sessions, would be nice to see the differences w/o doing it manually.  Management many times wants to see a
breakdown of major areas improved and the reason why (# of calls to method reduced/streamlined, network traffic reduced,
etc).

All changes implemented in the new profiler, except of switching off verbose names of snapshots.
