Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] New feature: timestamp display precision adjustment (automatic or
Hi List!
Finished another feature I had on my to do list for some time now :-)
Timestamps display precision:
- automatic adjustment depending on the loaded file format
- manual adjustment through menu items
... and save these setting in the recent file
This way you can adjust the number of post decimal positions.
The different file formats we support have different precisions, e.g.
the libpcap file format supports microsecond precision. If a libpcap
file is loaded, the number of post decimal positions will be
automatically adjusted to 6 now. If you need a different number, you can
use View/Time Display Format menu to adjust the display showing it
differently.
BTW: The internal timestamp implementation was changed yesterday to have
a maximum precision of nanoseconds.
I've added some examples to the menu item labels, so usage should be simple.
As I was unsure about the timestamp resolution of some file formats,
please report any problems.
Regards, ULFL
