Is clicking on the Save button in the Profile performance and memory window supposed to prompt you for a file name/path, or is it saving the file to a pre-determined folder? If the latter, does anybody know where that folder is located? I'm trying to track down a slow but consistent memory leak in a very large project, so I need to periodically save snapshots of the project's memory usage profile and then look for VI(s) whose memory usage is slowly increasing from snapshot to snapshot.

For me by default when I hit "Save" Button - the Dialog opened, pointed to LabVIEW Folder (C:\Program Files...):
Once changed to other folder, then LabVIEW will remember new location, but I think "periodical" saving is not possible, every time when you will click on "Save", the dialog will appear, and the new file will be created (or old file will be overwritten, if you will enter the same name).
But I think, the NI LabVIEW Desktop Execution Trace Toolkit is probably slightly better tool to find the leakage.

I tried using the DETT but it was generating so much information so fast that I needed some way of identifying potential problem VIs that I could use to filter DETT's data stream. After some more poking around today I found that it's only in this project that the Save button doesn't work, and only when the project is actually running.
