Including an option to cause Wireshark to display in UTC rather than

suspect that it is as simple as setting a preference and inserting a
switch between localtime() and gmtime() (or their equivalents) in
whatever code is used to convert the timestamps to calendar format.
Would you mind opening a bug report at http://bugs.wireshark.org
requesting this (and mark it as an enhancement request) so we don't
forget it?
My initial thoughts are that the option could be placed in the View -
Time Display Format menu, either at the top with a separator bar below
it saying Local Time or UTC Time. Or add two more Date and Time of Day
and Time of Day options with (UTC) at the end. What does everyone think?
Personally I'd like more than just UTC. I get traces from around the
world and sometimes the systems are set to UTC but more often they are
set to the local TZ, wherever that may be.
