Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Managing the display and what is displayed ...

[Richard Sharpe <sharpe@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

Martin Visser's interesting extensions to Ethereal suggest that we need to
start doing something about managing the display ...

Users might want to be able to specify that the be able to see only the
summary pane, or all three panes as we currently see them, or only the pane
that Martin has introduced, or a pane that shows the packets per second and
bytes per second in a graphical form, and so on ...

This suggests that we might want a View menu with a few buttons on it, and
so forth ...

I think that this might take some time to actually do, and I only want to
talk about it now, because I want to spend some more time on my dissector
generator later this week (after I get a couple of articles written for
LinuxWorld etc).


Regards
