Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] Bug report on "File/Save" dialog
Note: This archive is from the project's previous web site, ethereal.com. This list is no longer active.
If you load a capture file from disk and use the filter field to see
some specific protocol(s) instead of all in the capture file then
loading works fine and you see what you expected.
If you know want to save what you see, you go to the "File/Save" or
"File/Save as" dialog and enter a filename. Notice that the packet range
shows the same number for "Captured" and "Displayed", but when saving
with the "Captured" button pressed, the output file will be the same as
the input file before applying the filter when loading. If you however
press the "Displayed" button (which shows the same number of packets),
then only the displayed packets are saved to the new file.
The bug is that the number of packets shown in the "File/Save" dialog is
wrong when a file has been loaded using a filter.
