Description Wainer dos Santos Moschetta CLA 2011-09-09 11:32:49 EDT
Build Identifier: 3.7

An user of oprofile plug-in gave me observation:

-----
The original oprofile plugin used to enable the user to double-click on the "current" part of the tree output in the OProfile view and change the name so that subsequent profile runs would not erase what you'd already collected. Then the OProfile view would be able to display multiple profile runs in the same window, under different names.
----

I doubled checked it on Linux Tools 0.8. It doesn't allow user to save previous results as describe above anymore.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Double-click on the "current" part of the tree output in the Oprofile view

You should be able save a "current" session by clicking on the Oprofile View's Menu (top right of the view, beside minimize and maximize). There is an option there to "Save Default Session". This will save the "current" session. Also there is an option there to "Delete Session". This will delete the session that you have selected.

The double clicking functionality was removed as it would be a bit weird to double click specifically on "current" to do this. (double clicking on other sessions would not make sense as they are safe from being overwritten).

You are right. I just noticed it is well-explained in the Oprofile plug-in manual.

Sorry for that. I will close this report.

Thanks!
