Feature Request: Improve "retained by several classes&q

Post by Aaron G »

Sometimes i see a significant proportion of memory used on <objects are retained by instances of several classes> in the merged paths view but it's not easy to do further investigation as the view does not provide further options.

There are 2 ways this can be improved:
a) make the "selected objects" feature functional for the classes listed under <objects are retained by instances of several classes>, currently it returns "No objects to open"

b) provide an artificial "retained size" ranking, based on the actual size of the objects that are partially retained and a weighting factor based on how many different classes retain this object. If 10MB of type X are retained by instances of the 2 types Y and Z then one could assign 5MB to Y and Z each.
