Critical Path Tree View

[syamajala]

It would be nice if we had a tree view for the critical path to make it easier/more efficient to navigate.

The way I sort of imagine it is that when you click critical path for an item, it opens a scrollable pane with a tree that shows you both the upstream and downstream things that you are waiting on/waiting for you and when you hover over an item in the tree it will pan/zoom to that item in the profile and there would be a pane that shows you that items info instead of popping up another window.

Seems like its possible with egui: https://github.com/blitzarx1/egui_graphs

Someone will need to help me upgrade egui if we're going to use this; they're on the newest version and we're still on 0.25.

What would be required to upgrade to the latest egui? Does it have backwards breaking changes?

[elliottslaughter]

egui 0.26 introduces text selection, which is great but breaks all our custom widgets. Because they rearchitected the way that inputs are handled, I haven't been able to trace through all the new abstractions to figure out how to do what we need to do yet.

[lightsighter]

Have they not heard of backwards compatibility? Rust community seems to just like to break things if they aren't perfect rather than living with their mistakes.

If you figure out what needs to be done, I can help with doing the updates.
