If I have two different methods that I want to analyze but I do not want both of them profiled at the same time, then I have to switch back and forth between them. This is not as easy to do as it could be. The problem is that the list of Selected Root Methods (in the Specify Root Methods dialog) is just that: a list. What I need instead is something with a check-box next to each method. Then I could go find all the methods I'm interested in and have them listed. By default each would have the check-box selected, meaning that it is going to be analyzed as a root method. I could un-check the ones that I'm not interested in at the moment and then start profiling. Later, if I decide to modify my profling settings, the check-boxes would make it really easy to modify which methods get analyzed during the profiling session.
This could be done now by creating two custom configurations with the two sets of roots. Having said that, I am having problems myself with the root methods selection UI, and am thinking along similar lines for the future. Probably will not address this one in 1.0, keeping it for the future.
Already fixed by implementing new Root Methods Selector with checktree in Profiler 6.0.
gsporar, do you agree with this fix? Could you please verify it.
Yes, this is fixed.
