Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Re: io_stat.c/filter_prefs.h/filter_prefs.c patch: user friendly
Hi,
Excellent work.
I can review it and check it in in a few days (I am a bit out of sync with
cvs doing some h.245 stuff right
now.). Or someone else might check it in before me.
When this patch is in, could you also please look at when one use
FT_RELATIVETIME in advanced
so that instead of specifying jyst the y-values in number of miliseconds, it
woulds actually
print x.y ms on the y-axis?
Example of what I mean, try advanced and create a graph where you specify
any of MAX/MIN/AVG
and a field that is relative time, such as time between request and response
for SMB or NFS.
Currently it is not obvious that the y-scale is in ms.
