Using Lua Profiler - is it possible?

I'd like to hook up Lua Profiler - is it possible? And if so, how is it done?

Ok, hmm I had hoped it was possible hooking up the profiler in unsafe mode (while developing / debugging).

Perhaps you could evaluate if its worth adding the profiler to your lua setup (so its available by default). Being able to profile the performance critical parts of a script is a great help.

I'm currently trying out LuaEdit (of course temporarily, because I'm sure we will soon get a build-in kick ass editor ). Actually it would be interesting to hear a bit about your work flow when you made the excellent script examples on the beta page, what editors/additional tools did you use? I guess it is Egret I need to ask about this?

What, in your opinion, is missing in our current one (except for the editing area width?)

These examples were written when we had a simple text edit box instead of the code editor we have now, buggy error handing, etc. The code was written in Notepad++ and pasted into the edit box.

Respect! lol

Well just my opinion but -

Line numbering and current position lost on apply or show the desktop etc, i know there is the line position thing which is good but rather than clicking to find a line i prefer it numbered by default. Being restricted to a set area you can't move around and minimize is also a problem, i also code in notepad++ and then copy and paste it in maybe with a bit of editing after if needed.

There is also the long time thing that has annoyed me about FF which is forced re-rendering and the way it jumps up to 100% cpu constantly rather than to just press a button when ready. What i do instead is to lock it to a quick rendering preview like a image input or gradient but this is an annoying workflow in my opinion and that also another reason why i have been writing scripts in a external editor.

Maybe it would be a good idea to have customization over the main preview and have things like push a button to render or allow to disable or resize it down so there is more room to code etc and it's not in the way of things. I know some people like it but i don't and to me the way the program automatically renders is probably one of my only dislikes about FF now. Having more control over that system would improve things greatly and also be much nicer for scripting in my opinion.

No, we didn't. Perhaps this is due to typos? Lua doesn't require variable declaration, so typos in variable names will create new variables.

+2 Yeah, I dislike that too.....unnecessary re-renders when saving.....seems to happen above a certain sized image and/or filter complexity.....and not for images that are like 1024 x 768 and below.....
