Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Packet dialog

[Boaz Galil <boaz20@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you! I think that we are all neutral on the UI details... (whether it's going to be a separate dialog or on the same main screen) - just give us some real-time statistics on what we capture (high-level breakdown TCP/UDP/etc).

Thanks in advance

I seem to remember that this was discussed in the past, but I don't remember what the reason given was.

It might be possible to provide something - it might end up being a screen that replaces the welcome screen but isn't the 3-pane packet display screen, rather than a separate dialog, using the stop button in the toolbar.
