Hi folks,

Lots of people use Wireshark to help with problems around the world.
Sometimes they have a capture from another timezone and a log file
from that same timezone.

The capture has time in UTC while the logs are most likely in local
time and it can be hard to reconcile the two.

Can we have something added to the View->Time Display Formt menu that
allows us to specify the actual offset from UTC that the capture was
made in so that time can be displayed in local time for that Time
Zone.

That way it will be easier to work with a capture and a log file.


Yes, it's been on the wishlist for a long time:

https://bugs.wireshark.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=2629
(Hmmm, the Summary of that bug still only asks for UTC display but the bug is still open for "choose your timezone". Maybe that should be fixed. Or the bug cloned for the "choose your timezone" aspect.)
