Make interoperability's visual trace to easy to check, when process was running parallel.

I want to make interoperability's visual trace to easy to check,

when process was running parallel.


As an example, consider calling bp01 with a Pool Size of 3 from bp00 for 3 processes at the same time.

The bp01 column shows three processes jumbled together, making it very time consuming to track down the desired process.

In this example there are 3 processes, but on my system there can be up to 50 or more queued processes, so when I check Visual Trace it takes a very long time to trace.


If you want to improve without changing the UI significantly, for example, you can use Apply Filter to display by Process ID.

If the UI can be changed, for example, it would be nice to express the multiplicity in ProcessName and switch the process by clicking it.

This idea is available to maintain quickly and safety.

It's difficulut to investigate what the process is doing for parallel execution, now.
Actually, I search the bp trace on this case with adding log message to global with $JOB
because couldnot be trace bp flow with visual trace.

    Does this not match 2nd Idea-A-Thon contest?
