Profiler 070216 Steps to reproduce: - Click Attach Profiler - Click Attach Wizard - Provide All the parameters, finish Attach Wizard - Change Project - RESULT: All parameters of Attach Wizard are reset to project defaults. User is not notified about this. This could be misleading. Attach Wizard parameters should be remembered until Profiling task is started.
If I get it correctly, the attach parameters are changed when the project is changed? As the attach settings are defined per project this is only expected behavior. If you change back to the previously edited project you get your changes back. This is how it's supposed to work.
The problem was about the fact that there was no clear indication of link between values in Attach Wizard and currently selected project in Select Profiling Task dialog. If the Attach Wizard had had a field or label where the name of the project was specified, it would had been good enough. Due to SPT reimplementation Attach parameters are currently shown in Select Profiling Task dialog so the user has a chance to catch the fact that attach parameters are changing when another project is selected.
