Hi wireshark users(and wireshark developers if any),

I'd like to mention what as a user I prefer to see in future evolution of wireshark.

1. We as software developers extensively use wireshark. During course of a project activities like capturing network communication packets for performance analysis, bug tracking, etc are common. An additional feature that would be of use is saving the status of packet whether it is marked or not as well.
2. An enhancement where we can tag any packet, tag any tree view in a packet, or even any octet in hexadecimal view will be of much use. The usage can be realized in such a way where, a long duration intensive analysis of a packet for tracking bug will be more affective when observations and conclusive comments can be recorded in .cap file within.

Thank You
Mayoor
