Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] Capture info dialog box - how to enable in 2.4.4

Date: Tue, 13 Mar 2018 15:26:54 +0000


In WireShark 1.10 under 'Capture Options' window it used to be possible to toggle on and off 'Hide capture info dialog' which brought up a small window during capture that showed a histogram with the numbers of different types of packets that had been captured.

How can I enable this feature in WS 2.4.4? There is an option to 'Show extra capture information dialog' under the 'Capture interfaces' 'Options' tab, but this doesn't make the histogram appear.

Any suggestions? MTIA.
