Description Alexandre Montplaisir CLA 2013-11-26 17:44:38 EST 
When opening for example an LTTng trace in TMF, the user can right-click the Event List and choose Show Raw. This will open a tab to the right of the view that is completely empty, puzzling the user as to what he just did.

For trace types that don't support the Raw Viewer, the option should be disabled (greyed-out, but not removed completely, to not break mnemonics). This could be done with a separate interface that the trace can implement (like ITmfTraceProperties), and traces that do implement it offer the Show Raw option.

Once that is done, support for showing the binary data from CTF traces would be really cool!! But that is a separate matter altogether.

What is the reason, why the "Show Raw" option doesn't support LTTng traces? It would be very helpful, to see the binary representation of an LTTng event.
