A suggestion to improve navigating in large captures

Hi folks, I often have to deal with large captures. They can be as large as several GB, and I often have to do things like filter on a specific type of packet, which will throw up a smallish number of packets of interest, but I need to look at the packets around those of interest. This involves selecting the first one of interest, eliminating the filter, inspecting, but if that is not the area of interest, I re-filter, then select the second packet of interest and go through the whole process until I find the group of packets that I am interested in. Now, I noticed that in the Edit menu we can mark all displayed packets. Then if the Go menu was enhanced with a Go To Next Marked the workflow I mentioned would be much easier. We could filter and if the packets are exactly what we are interested in, we could Mark all displayed, then select the first, clear the filter and then Go To Next Marked until we reach the group we are interested in. -- Regards, Richard Sharpe (何以解憂?唯有杜康。--曹操) ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
