The download raw is nice addition. It would be great if the plugin could handle the download as well. In the Chrome plugin, you cannot adjust the column width (you can only make them even smaller), so you can’t read the header and see the complete column. ![Scherm­afbeelding 2025-02-27 om 10.03.46](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex008/uploads/novulo/original/2X/8/8a0b3366521f869621a27a42cd6d393e9996cece.png) ---

Hey Joram, thank you for your feedback! I will make the small columns more usable/readable in the next version. The title of the first column is “From First(s)” and the title of the second is “From Last(s)”, by the way. These columns are used to calculate the “Slow processes” ranking. - From First(s): The elapsed time in seconds since the first line in the trace - From Last(s): The elapsed time in seconds since the previous line in the trace What do you mean exactly by “handle the download as well”? Do you want to use the dialogue to choose the location and filename manually before saving the file? That would be possible. Regards Joachim ---

That the download is handled by the plugin in the same manner, so you can collapse and highlight. As if you were doing a regular trace. Dialogue for saving is not important for me.
