Re: [linuxtools-dev] Callgraph: Strange behaviour in Profile Configurati

Hi Otavio,

First of all, thank-you for your interest in this plugin :)

Initially I think the intent was to have some basic configuration that
generates the various graphs, and that is always the default unless some
user indicates they would like to run a different type of configuration.

I agree that the current functionality deviates from what might be
expected. However allowing various configurations to be run as
"Function Callgraph" might be a bit confusing, especially when
it's always possible to customize and run it through the profile
configuration menu.

I'll file a bug against this, but at least for now I'd prefer to keep
the functionality as is.

Cheers,
