Launching a new window from Display filters

[FS <bastiji () gmail com>]

Folks - My sincere thanks for a wonderful product which has saved the day
for me many times. There's one thing I haven't been able to do so far and I
thought asking the knowledgeable folks here might be a good idea. I did try
googling without any luck.

The workflow of using wireshark, for me at least, is to open a capture,
focus in on a conversation and then try and use further filters to get the
information I'm looking for. Is there a way to launch a separate Wireshark
window instance with the results of the display filter, so within the new
window I can use further display filters to get the data I want. Currently
if the display filter doesn't show what I want, then I have to clear the
filter completely and re-type (or paste depending on circumstance) the
filters again and start afresh.

I know I can save the displayed packets as a separate capture, and then
open it up, but hoping there is another better way to do it.

Any help appreciated!

Thanks,
Basti Ji
