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.
