It would be great if a simple HH:MM:SS timer should be added to the "Recording..." dialog shown while recording Chrome traces. Right now I'm running a separate timer app to help me keep some level of consistency when going over longer term tracing scenarios. Having the timer shown at the very trace dialog would make the process much easier.

In this case I'm using my workstation to record traces from Chrome on Android. But I think this feature would be useful also for workstation traces as the tracing tab could be kept visible if opened in a separate window.
