Hi Mia,


I'm not Matthew, but I'll answer nonetheless. Thank you for your interest in Trace Compass. Anwers inline:

Hi Matthew,

A few more questions. I see that I cannot use Timegraph views to achieve this easily. So was wondering if we take a route where you decide to support features I need, how would that look like? Would I be mainly developing this part or would I have help of other Trace Compass developers?
I guess you would be mainly developing this part. Trace Compass developers will be present to discuss and review code. The best approach would be to discuss your implementation plan before starting the work, as we can point you in the right direction if required and if we all agree on the approach, reviews will be much easier. We can have virtual meetings anytime.

How much time does it take approximately to implement new features (in general)?

It really depends 1- on your experience with java and 2- how much changes need to be done to the core Trace Compass or not


In an ideal world, your feature could be totally implemented in the incubator [1]  (at least for the start) and you do not need to touch the mainline repo. You can use the Trace Compass API to implement your feature


In this scenario, you could copy/paste various views/classes from the mainline Trace Compass repo (see the repos here [2]), modify them, experiment with them and later, some of the code can be moved to mainline if required.


As an example, a new contributor, Ivan, has added the support of a view containing the various Trace Compass views as viewers, saving a lot of real estate. The contribution is in the Incubator (called MultiView), but required a few changes in mainline, which were accepted quite fast. The various viewers started as copies of the Trace Compass main views.




Another thing, any idea if/what could I possibly reuse in Trace Compass to achieve highlighting of a few Timegraph entries while the other ones are grayed out (see attached screenshot). I am aware of highlighting of the traces in the event table, but not that something like this exists in Trace Compass.
This feature is available. You can search/highlight views, either locally (by pressing the '/' key in timegraphs and entering your query in the search box), or globally (the "global filters" feature of the incubator, that you can install with 'Tools' -> 'Add-ons', then opening the 'Global Filters' view (Window -> Show View) and entering your search). Documentation on search/filter is here [3]
