The main KCachegrind window

The File Menu

File->New (Ctrl-N)

Opens an empty toplevel window into which you can load profile data. This action is not really needed, as File/Open will give you a new toplevel window when the current one shows already some data.

File->Open... (Ctrl-O)

Pops up the File Open Dialog to choose a profile data file to be loaded. If there is some data already shown in the current toplevel window, this will open a new window; if you want to open additional profile data in the current window, use File/Add.

The name of profile data files usually ends in ..-, where and are optional and are used for multiple profile data files belonging to one application run. By loading a file ending only in ., eventually existing data files for this run, but with additional endings, are loaded too.

Example: If there exist profile data files cachegrind.out.123 and cachegrind.out.123.1, by loading the first, the second will be automatically loaded too.

File->Open Recent

File->Add...

Adds a profile data file to the current window. Using this, you can force multiple data files to be loaded into the same toplevel window even if they are not from the same run as given by the profile data file naming convention. This can, for example, be used for nearside comparison.

File->Reload (F5)

Reload the profile data. This is most interesting after another profile data file was generated for an already loaded application run.

File->Force Dump (Ctrl-Shift-Z)

File->Export Graph

File->Quit (Ctrl-Q)
