Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] What is "View/Display Filter Macros" in the menu?!?
I commited it in as early as possible but not earlier, It's been added
after the 0.99.5 release as branched and it hasn't been copied over.
As things are right now it's not going to be released as is. In the
meanwhile (unaware of it) you have been doing regression testing on
it.
It will a have wsug section when it's fnished.
This is the little written about it so far:

Hi List!
While working on a complete different topic, I noticed the new
"View/Display Filter Macros" menu item.
The functionality itself might be useful, however, the documentation is
not existing.
IN IT'S CURRENT FORM THERE'S NO INFORMATION HOW TO USE THIS FEATURE SO
IT'S CONFUSING (OR AT LEAST USELESS) FOR EVERY NORMAL USER!!!
Even as an experienced user (as I would call myself :-), I just don't
know what to do with it.
So what is this all about?!?
If this is experimental, it should be removed from the menu before the
0.99.5 release ...
Regards, ULFL
P.S: BTW: "Of course", it lacks basic GUI features like a "Close"
button, as some window managers don't provide the "X" to close a dialog ...
P.P.S: As I've spend *a lot of time* to keep the User's Guide up to
date, this is a bit discouraging - developers keep adding new features
without caring about the user documentation :-(
