"Failed to export flamegraph: image is empty". #637

Closed RokeJulianLockhart closed 6 months ago

Describe the bug

I'm unable to export a flamegraph .BMP.

To Reproduce

  1. Install https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/dolphin/24.02.2/2.fc40/x86_64/dolphin-24.02.2-2.fc40.x86_64.rpm from https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/rpminfo?rpmID=38381846

  2. cd "$HOME" # so that the last command works as expected
    perf record --call-graph dwarf dolphin && `
    hotspot '$HOME/perf.data'
  3. Attempt to export a flamgraph bitmap.

  4. Save the image via the KDE File Picker (I presume via the XDG portal).

Expected behavior

The .BMP should be saved.

You need to open the flamegraph tab first, otherwise the image is not rendered and thus cannot be saved.
