Hello

Would you consider having the left pane (calls tree) scroll when there needs more space to display the function calls ?

at the moment if I get deep into the tree structure I have to reduce the left pane width to be able to see the function calls on the left

would be great

thank you

   Hi Thomas,

   Firstly, thanks for all your feedback! I'm sorry its that some of them seem to be bugs.

   Before we get into each issue, let me say that at any point if you are not happy with MacCallGrind, we are more than happy to refund your purchase. However, we would obviously prefer to sort out any problems you have and try to make you happy with the product.

   We also do have an update for MacCallGrind almost ready to go out, and we're hoping to get that out to customers within the next month, all going to plan.

   1. Left pane horizontal scroll. The new version provides left pane horizontal scrolling. Its not automatic, but it gives you a horizontal scroll bar. The current version also does this, but there is a bug which causes it to fail in certain circumstances, and this has been fixed in the new version.

   2. File size reporting incorrect in Grinder. This is also fixed in the new version.

   3. Slow opening and navigation. We have made improvements to the performance and memory footprint in the new version. Obviously we can't say how much this will improve your particularly situation, without having your machine and exact configuration, but in our general testing, it is very noticeably faster on large files.

   4. Tutorial on Grinder. We know that we need to seriously improve our help and tutorials. We know that our users are smart people, you have to be if you're going to analyse and tuning program code, but we are planning on including help and example files in future versions. It won't be in the upcoming version, but mostly likely the update after that.

   Grinder monitors a local file directory for callgrind files. If you set a regular expression, then it assumes that files which match are valid files. If you uncheck the regular expression checkbox, then it looks for files which are prefixed with "cachegrind." We need to either document this or make it match all files.

   I hope that addresses each of your issues. If not, then please let us know. And as I said, if MacCallGrind isn't helping improve your work, then we're more than happy for you to stop using it and we'll refund your money.

   Regards,
   Richard

   Richard,

   I would also prefer that my findings an reports help make the product better
   etc ... Can I also say that even though I read your bog post about pricing
   and trialling policy I still find that the price tag is a bit high and that
   it was hard for me to evaluate the speed boost I would get from the new
   version since I could not test it with large files. In the end I made the
   jump though. I agree that the tool is easily paid when working on a large
   project but maybe you would extend your user base by being under 100$, I
   admit I have no idea how many people you can attract though ...

   I am quite happy with your answers and I hope you can push the new version
   soon.

   Can I say that maybe you should answer each of my questions in the original
   Tender thread so that people looking for answers find them in the right box
   ?

   Thanks for a very helpful product, hope you keep at it since it's well
   needed IMO

   Thomas

   Hi Thomas,

   You know what, I was going to reply to the individual discussions, and then forgot you'd opened public discussions and replied to them all together. My bad.

   Thanks for the heads up, I'll make sure I remember next time.

   Regards,
    Richard
