Hi

I would like to write a script, which should generate a kind of
histogramm of the packet lengths of some packets. The filter expression
should be derived from the currently selected packet in the GUI. Is it
possible to access the currently selected packet in the GUI, and perhaps
add the script to a right-click menu on that packet, using a lua script?
If not, what would be the best option to add such a feature?

One way to do this would be to add support to Lua for adding menu
items to any named menu ...

I think you can easily do this sort of thing with tshark by the way,
since you can do filtering in tshark and can extract the packet length
field, etc.
