In the latest version of Instruments 8.3 the display settings button has been removed and replaced by the File->Record settings dialog.
When using the allocation tools I now can no longer activate Automatic Snapshotting, because the option is gone from the right panel and the record options dialog is only showing the value for the allocation tool but not for the vm tracker. Record options dialog
Does anybody know where the option has been moved to?
Many thanks
