tethereal doesn't use dumpcap, so it's not finished yet.
Agreed, in addition to the facts I've mentioned earlier.
- Smooth out the Windows file dialogs: The "Filter" button doesn't
work, for instance.
Get us a nice file dialog for Unix/Linux as well.
Hmmm, it seems that no one is really pleased by that dialog. We may have
a talk with the GTK/GNOME developers on this ;-)
However, I know from JAVA development that designing a good platform
independent file chooser dialog is a really difficult task. It just
doesn't "feel" right ...
- Add version checking to the Help menu, similar to Firefox and other
apps?
I don't think so. We really shouldn't be doing a package management
stuff inside each application.
I would think of this as a Win32 only feature, but a very important one.
Win32 doesn't provide a package manager except for the SUS/WSUS services
which are for Microsoft components/applications only. I never understood
why MS doesn't provided this feature to other applications?!? But
please, I don't want to see any discussion on the Win32 vs. UNIX topic
here ...
