Re: Useful enhancements

Hi, 

This assumes that the capture file format can hold such
annotations. pcap as a file format cannot, but pcap-ng
(http://wiki.wireshark.org/Development/PcapNg) may provide such option.
Still this new capture format is very much in early stages of development,
so there's not much to go on now. Maybe it comes up at SharkFest'10.


Thanks,
Jaap

Hi wireshark users(and wireshark developers if any),

I'd like to mention
what as a user I prefer to see in future evolution of wireshark.

1. We as
software developers extensively use wireshark. During course of a project
activities like capturing network communication packets for performance
analysis, bug tracking, etc are common. An additional feature that would be
of use is saving the status of packet whether it is marked or not as well.

2. An enhancement where we can tag any packet, tag any tree view in a
packet, or even any octet in hexadecimal view will be of much use. The
usage can be realized in such a way where, a long duration intensive
analysis of a packet for tracking bug will be more affective when
observations and conclusive comments can be recorded in .cap file
within.

Thank You
Mayoor
