True, I missed that.

To be honest, simply because of my ignorance. I started developing the patch in
the 1.2.x days, I read the developer documentation back then, and haven't been
keeping up with new functions. Thanks for pointing this out, I'll look into it
and update all such calls. Can this patch be applied as-is for now, or should I
fix this first and resubmit?

Text items in the disector contain usually more than one protocol field and
make reading all the details easier. I would like to keep them as is, and add
subtrees in the future with the individual and filterable fields (which I agree
is very good to have!). I haven't implemented that yet, and I prefer to have
this out soon, since it's useable for a lot of people.

Let's have a clean patch, please remove them, and I will keep them around in my
tree, as for now I'm unsure if adding a 'flags' field and having the individual
flags in a subtree would worsen usability. I tend to prefer not adding them
ATM.
Thanks for the quick review!
