[feedback] add configuration saving
Hi!
Thank you for your amazing tool! It solves all my needs. But for complete convenience, saving the configurations of the current settings is not enough:
- Series names mapping
- The argument name mapping
- Y axis
- A type of the charts
- Checked/unchecked ticks
- To be short - everything user changed)
I suppose it will be buttons [save to] [load from]
If you think my idea is good, let me know...
Hi!
Thanks for your feedback. It's nice to know JOMT is useful to people.
To clarify, in what scenario would you like to see settings saved? It seems that the last version of the tool already store most of these parameters (and try to re-apply them on compatible charts when possible).
Hi!
My scenario:
- Develop a benchmark
- Run the benchmark
- Run JOMT
- Open the json
- Choose the Chart Type (Bar e.g.)
- Choose Y column (items/s e.g.)
- Uncheck 'Auto-reload' (because when I restart benchmark JOMT tries to reload json while it is invalid)
- Press Plot button
- Again uncheck 'auto-reload'
- Choose theme
- Increase legend font size
- Edit series names
- etc, etc
- Press Snapshot to save the results
- Then I refactor the code to improve performance or do some experiments. It can take hour, day or week, so, I close JOMT
- Return to the 3 step and have to repeat the configuration
I would like to save the current config to some file (perhaps near to the result file) and reload it just after I open the report.
Hello,
For what I can see, except for steps 5 and 6, all the others configs should be restored on re-opening the same benchmark. Are you up-to-date on the repository? (there was an update about 6 months ago) Does it work if you re-open JOMT on the same benchmark file? (or is it just an issue with updated results file)
Note: auto-reload will show a warning popup on invalid json, but shouldn't mess with working copy. However, It seems to show a dialog per failed parsing which could be annoying. I'll add this to my todo list
Did you build the last JOMT version? (the one with the update to Qt6): https://github.com/gaujay/jomt/commits/master/
In my scenario:
- Open a benchmark file in JOMT
- Plot chart
- Change theme/Series name
- Close and re-open JOMT
- Open same benchmark file, plot same chart type
- Changed theme/Series name should be re-loaded from config file
You can check the content of the config files (one per chart type) in folder 'jomtSettings' located near the JOMT binary. Hope this helps!
Did you build the last JOMT version? (the one with the update to Qt6):
yes, I download and build your last version just today
You can check the content of the config files (one per chart type) in folder 'jomtSettings' located near the JOMT binary.
jomtSettings is empty in my case
But nevertheless, I suppose, that the config file should be per benchmark file but not per chart type...
A config file per benchmark could be an interesting addition. But in your case, fixing the missing config files per chart type would already address most of your needs.
Check your read/write permissions or put a breakpoint into JOMT save/load functions to see what's the problem here. If there is a bug in the code, please let me know
