[Listing] Allow clearing the request list in the client #19

Open lostintangent opened 8 years ago

lostintangent commented 8 years ago

In order to reduce noise and better orient myself when viewing profiling data, its really valuable to be able to clear past data, particularly if I'm not interested in any of the historical requests. There's something physiologically valuable to knowing that everything being displayed is relevant to my current needs.

I was able to work around this by simply cycling the server, but it would be awesome to be able to clear the request list within the UI. When we did the network and performance tools in F12, this was a really common request, particularly because many similar tools provide this option for the workflow style that I mentioned above.

Good feedback. We need to consider whether we hide messages on the client or clear messages on the server. If latter, we need to think through implications on single server/multi-client scenarios.

@lostintangent would a "Clear All" gesture suffice, or would you prefer something with more fine grained control like "Clear All Requests Before This One" or a multi select and delete function?

lostintangent commented 8 years ago

@nikmd23 A "Clear All" button would be perfect for my preferred workflow.

I wanted to add a comment here. As I've been using Glimpse more and more, I also feel a need for this.

I also use the suggested workaround for now, but we should look into this soon.
