Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] [PATCH] show hostname in window title - feature submission

[Nathan Jennings <njen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is a resend. I didn't receive any replies and I forgot to include 
"[PATCH]" in the subject; so maybe it was missed. The attached patch is 
a svn diff.

--------------------------------------------

Hello,

I saw this request flow through a week or so ago. I had been meaning to
do it for quite awhile anyway...

The attached patch allows you to easily see which copy of Ethereal
you're manipulating (by looking at the window title) if you have
multiple Ethereal instances open on your desktop that are running on
multiple machines. It doesn't handle differentiating multiple instances
running on the same machine.

The patch also adds a user preference to show the local machine's host
name in full or short format. The window titles it changes are the main
window, the capture dialog and the capture info dialog.

I tested it on FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE only.
