Description Tittu Aliyas 2015-11-04 01:29:41 UTC 
Overview:
In windows (with Visual Studio), if we try to run xamarin profiler after saving the result as mlpd file then it won’t start  the new profiling session, instead it will run the same saved result. But in iOS (with Xamarin Studio), we can run a new profiling session.
Versions:
Visual Studio 2015
Xamarin Profiler 0.24.0.0
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make sure the device is connected with the PC and Visual studio detected the device.
2. Launch the Xamarin profiler from Visual Studio.
3. Run the Xamarin profiler and get the result for any scenario.
4. Save the result as mlpd file.
5. Run the Xamarin profiler again.
Actual Result: 
Xamarin Profiler will run the same saved result 
Expected Result:
Xamarin Profiler should start a new profiling session and should be able to get the result for new scenario.
Additional Information:
In iOS (with Xamarin Studio), we are able to start a new session and able to get the result for new scenario

A screencast of the problem you're seeing would be helpful

Working making windows behave like Mac.
Comment 3 Dominique Louis 2016-01-18 16:48:21 UTC 
Should now behave like the Mac profiler.

I have checked this issue with latest profiler build i.e. profiler-mac-0.30.0-69 and observed that I am getting new profiling session every time when I start profiling on VS.
So I am closing this issue. Here is the screencast for the same.
