trace-viewer: Filtering for processes #4553

Open sadrulhc opened 5 years ago

sadrulhc commented 5 years ago

The trace-viewer shows all the processes by default. However, there are times when there are only a couple of processes doing interesting things, and the rest of the processes being in the trace-viewer serves no purpose, and is pretty distracting. This is especially an issue when the trace contains a lot of renderer processes, but I want to look at the traces for the browser and gpu processes (requiring a lot of scrolling and sometimes also squinting). Having a filter to exclude some of the processes from the viewer would be very useful!
