What do you mean by "date/time of the capture files to load"?  The time
stamp of the capture file, i.e. the time the file was last modified? 
(There is nothing in Ethereal captures file indicating when the capture
started - the libpcap format it uses doesn't have any such time stamp -
although it could show the time stamp of the first packet.)

Where would it show this?  (What do you mean by "detailed view in
win32"?)

What would the scheduler schedule?

Well, the selection mode for Ethereal's packet list is "only one packet
can be selected", as the packet list pane shows the selected packet;
it'd have to be something other than a conventional selection.
