Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] Most recently used items

[Biot Olivier <Olivier.Biot@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Excellent!

However I'd propose to add:
1. A dummy entry "(no capture files in history)" when the history is empty
(instead of getting a 3-by-3 pixel empty square box at initial run).
2. A means to clear the history

Regards,

Olivier

| 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.
