Why is "Enabled Protocols" under the "View" menu rather than the "Edit" menu? I.e., how are they different? Both of them affect how stuff is dissected, not just how it's displayed.
I was thinking quite a while about this and didn't got a solution I was 100 percent satisfied with.
You're right, "Enabled Protocols" will affect the dissection. With this in mind, "View" doesn't seem to be a good place.
I'm not sure, where to put this item into ("Edit" or "Analyze"). The same applies to the "View/Decode As" item as well.
Yes, I agree. I had a short try implementing exactly this, but as the tap items are registered in a slightly different way than the normal items, I didn't succeeded.The menu changes I've made are not completely finished:
-"File/Print Packet" can be removed, when the print dialog is able to print single frames
-"View/Options" should be seperated into single menu items, not a dialog box
-"Analyze/Statistics" could be moved to a seperate toplevel menu item
Should "Analyze/Protocol Hierarchy Statistics" become "Protocol Hierarchy" under the "Statistics" menu (even though it's not implemented as a tap)?
I will have another try later.
