I'd also very much like to see a "Mark range" feature.
I'm not sure how people use frame marking now, but one way I find it
very useful is for "trimming down" portions of a trace that I want to
analyze.
For example, I may want to only view frames 1-5000, 40000-45000, and
95000-100000 out of a 100,000 frame trace (or just the first 50, for
example). While I can do this now by building a filter that only
matches those frames, and then saving, this means that I have to
re-parse the entire trace before I'm able to save off the packets -
with the mark frames feature I believe I mostly have to wait for the
Clist to be updated. With a relatively large trace (100,000 frames is
often small for me), this can be very time-consuming.
I can do what I need to with editcap as well, but it interrupts the
analysis thought process, and isn't quite part of Ethereal (the GUI
prog)
I imagine it'd be fairly trivial, if people think this is a good idea
I'll hack something out (if the other proposed changes start to settle
down a bit =)

Regarding "Edit->Mark Frame" feature, I'd like to have an
