Ethereal-dev: RE: [Ethereal-dev] Saving all packets between the first and the l ast marked pac
Some remarks:
Can we select more than one packet in the GUI? IMHO we can only do this by
having pop-up windows with individual packets being displayed.
Range between first and last marked packet is only possible when at least 2
packets have been marked.
Maybe we can group functionality based on applying the dfilter or not:
+-- Select packets to be %s ------------------+
| (*) all packets |
| ( ) selected packets |
| ( ) marked packets |
| ( ) range from first to last marked packet |
+ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - +
| [x] apply display filter on packet range |
+---------------------------------------------+
where %s is either printed or saved, (*) is the default selected radio
button of the radio button group, and [x] represents a selected check box.

| That's what the "Print" dialog box has. I think that the "Print" and

| Or
|
| +-Save
| Range-------------------------------------------------------------+
| |
| |
| | O Selected packets only, {N} packets
| |
| | O Marked packets only, {N} packets
| |
| | O All packets captured, {N} packets
| |
| | O All packets displayed, {N} packets
| |
| | O Displayed packets between first and last marked
| packet, {N} packets |
| | O Captured packets between first and last marked packet,
| {N} packets |

| along the lines of what we have in the Print dialog box.
|
| Should we have another one for "Marked displayed packets"?

|
| Yes (that's already the case for "All packets displayed" in the Print
| dialog box).
|
| "Selected packets only" is unselectable if there is no
| selected packet.
|
| The rule is that if {N} is 0 for any item, the item is not selectable.

|
| Ulf, what did you have in mind for the range?
