Hi List!
I've recently checked in some changes, which will hold a "recent" file in the users config path. 

This file will save the following things:

- the 10 latest capture files opened
- the 10 latest display filters used
Have a look at the menu "File->Open Recent" item and the display filter drop down list at the bottom of the window to get an idea of it.
I don't think this is a very elegant solution, but it will do the job quite well.
Still to be done is a way to handle entries in the capture files list, when the capture file currently don't exist (maybe deleted or temporary networking problems).
One thing I'm still thinking of, is the way how multiple running instances of Ethereal will affect this recent file. 

Regards, ULFL
