I think when I first stumbled upon your fine product a year or two
ago, I saw some postings that lead me to believe that there were
configuration capabilities not particularly well documented. So I'd
like to ask whether of not these closely-related controls are possible
with the current product, or if not, I would like to submit them as a
feature enhancement request.
Can the configuration of the memory management profile capability be
set to retain the value of any QNAME that has been entered for
filtering of output? It is a very common use case that when one is
working on a project, the value that would be entered is most apt to
be a value of persistent interest.
When there is filtering in effect, wouldn't the natural, most
convenient output of a dump/save use the same filtering? If an
engineer has purposely reduced the busy-ness of the on-screen display
in order to focus on a problem, the same focus will almost always be
wanted in the clipboard output that he's going to carry along to
whatever spreadsheet tools.
Ok, how about if I promise a ten buck contribution -- then can we have
those capabilities?

Hey Terry,
You couldn't ask at a better time for this.
We are currently updating multiple profilers with user requests!
You will have this request done for sure really soon.
(Thanks for the ten bucks proposal!)
While we are on the subject... Any other request?

Well I was going to double my offer for such a quick, positive reply, but then when I went to look for the PayPal button that was shown in the tutorial on the use of Config, it wasn't there!
So, while I'm waiting for a new capability to save the filter setting between sessions, I'll keep clicking on things until I see a Donation Button somewhere!
Thanks

If you really want to donate, plase donate to my blog:
For the filter I we could add a "Auto SaveFilters" button in the Config tab, and depending in the SharedObject value in TheMiner we could save (or not) filters.

Everyone appreciates clean, simple interfaces like the one you have, so I would not want to mess that up. If you are already [independent of my requested ehancement] going to provide a general-purpose mechanism to expose and allow edit/change of properties/parameters kept in the SharedObject, then, "Yes", you should have a Boolean and a Button. But if you quickly query your installed base of users, I think that almost everyone would accept a simple change of behavior, without any change in the user interface.
The changed behavior just becomes:
a. if there is a value in the QNAME field when the user exits, restore it on start up.
b. if there is a value in the QNAME field when the user saves to the clipboard, honor it as a filter.
Ok, so someone will complain -- I suspect very, very few. For the person who feels cheated by an auto-restored filter, it is quickly removed.
For the person who feels cheated by the filtered clipboard contents, I agree, that one is a little testier, since I can imagine legitimate use cases for having 'everything' in the dump, even when you are focused on a few objects from some new library. That does seem to require a change to the user interface, but if you are NOT already planning a general-purpose way to examine/edit the contents of the SharedObject, then it would seem that the least intrusive change would just be to have two menu items: Save Filtered and Save Unfiltered.
I'll be happy with either solution.
Thank you.

Hey Terry,
I just checked out your exemple of wrong GC behavior...
Wow....
I knew for a long time that the VM did not report correctly multiple "DeleteObjectSample"
I will add-up your "perfect" exemple of the wrong behavior as it might be fix faster with this kind of precise info.
Thanks a lot.

Of course you know whenever some new talent shows up in Canada, we only allow him or her to stay there a couple of months before we steal him or her. Where else are we going to get great singers and comedians? Now if you aren't careful, we will start stealing all you talented software engineers the same way.
A. Yes, the feature looks like it will greatly extend TheMiner's leadership role as the premier Flash tool.
B. People other than broke blokes like me, will likely upgrade to PRO in greater numbers when they see what you are enabling.
C. But, perhaps you got a little too excited to put it out there. There are some pretty major errors on the web page that I think you want to quickly correct, starting with your major paragraph numbering. We let those Russians and Japanese guys get by with an occasional English glitch on things like that,but, sacré bleu, we are not as kind to bi-lingual Canucks.
