I think in at least some UI guidelines it's recommended that all functions available through the context menu also be available through the main menu; this might be something under "Analyze" (unless we have a separate "Filter" main menu, in which we might put other filtering options). > If you select a packet and then use the context menu, you'll see the > following subentries: > > - Ethernet > - IP > - TCP > - UDP > - PN-CBA Server (very PROFINET specific) Is that list currently hard-wired? It might be useful to allow a dissector to register, for the current link-layer packet, a filter for the current conversation. The "Conversation Filter" menu(s) would have submenu items for all registered conversation filters. > An entry will only be selectable, if the selected packet contains that > protocol. In the scheme I'm talking about, the menu would only have entries for elements in the list of registered filters - and the menu item would be disabled if the list is empty. > Motivation: I've often saw people using the "Follow TCP stream" function > "only" to filter the TCP stream, closing the upcoming dialog right after > it's shown. YES. I do that quite often. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list [email protected] http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
