It will be nice to have separate button on Profiler Control Panel for Dumping Heap. Dump Heap available now for all profiling tasks from main menu, but from Profiler Control Panel only in Memory mode and not usefull because it shared with Take Snapshot.
Seems to be a duplicate of issue 96203
If it is not useful, it will not be there.
Do you agree this is a duplicate or you just disagree with Ivan? Could you explain your position? I had a look at this functionality and there is some inconsistency indeed. In memory profiling we can invoke Dump Heap from Control Panel. In other modes we can do it from menu only. Why are we inconsistent? As a user, I would look for the same feature at the same place whatever I do. Or did I miss something?
I believe the comment means that Dump Heap button available now in Control Panel during memory profiling is useful, otherwise it wouldn't be there - just a reaction on original comment "not usefull because it shared". The main idea is that most typically you are interested in contents of the heap during memory profiling. Because we take Issue 96203 as a suggestion where some changes may be implemented and some not according to further evaluation, let's keep this issue and don't mark it as a duplicate - it's clear that the Heap Dump action should have its own button.
