Description Alexander Kouznetsov 2007-02-21 19:06:36 UTC
Profiler 070221

Currently there are three sections with buttons in Profiler Control panel:
Controls, Profiling Results and View. However, there is no clear link between
section name and buttons:
1. VM Telemetry Overview in Controls, but View is more suitable
2. Take Snapshot only in Profiling Results, but Reset Data is in Controls and
Profiling Results
3. Dump Heap and Take Snapshot is the same button
4. Run GC only in Controls, but Reset Data is in Controls and Profiling Results

Moreover, user needs to scroll panel to get access to different Profiler
features and it seems to be annoying.

The idea of enhancement is:
1. to re-group buttons 
2. place all buttons that are time-sensitive into fixed part of Control Panel so
user will always have access to them.

According to this
1. View and Profiling Results sections should be merged.
2. Button VM Telemetry Overview should be moved to View/Profiling Results section.
3. Take Snapshot button should be moved to Controls section.
4. Reset Collected Data button should be removed from Profiling Results Section.
5. Dump Heap button should be introduced and placed into Controls section.

Separate issue 102705 for Dump Heap button is filed 
Comment 2 Jiri Sedlacek 2012-01-10 14:13:58 UTC
Changes introduced by implementing Bug 102705 (adding Dump Heap button, removing Reset Results from Profiling Results section) seem to resolve most of the described problems.
