So are you talking here about the "Open File" dialog box?
If so, that's an issue of the GUI toolkit Ethereal currently uses
(GTK+). At some point, we may have a version for Windows that uses
native Windows GUI widgets, in which case the "Open File" dialog box
would be the Windows one. (There is another application that uses the
Ethereal core and dissectors, but has a different GUI, using the native
Windows widgets - Packetyzer:

which you might want to try.)
On UNIX, you aren't going to see the creation date/time in any GUI
toolkit's "Open File" dialog box, because UNIX APIs don't, in general,
supply it and UNIX file systems, in general, don't store it.

Yes, UNIX GUI toolkits generally work the same way that Windows toolkits
work here.
The problem is that, as I noted, if you select multiple packets, which
one gets displayed in the detailed view pane? Or should it not display
any packet?
