The column for call duration would be an addition to the VoIP calls dialog, ideally on the right side of the end time column. From experience I think it might be something that is useful to detect calls that are terminated after getting picked up, typically a sign of interop issues. It would allow to sort on call state (eg complete) and a short call time.

Regards,
Erik

Hi Erik,

Glad you liked Sharkfest Europe, we enjoyed it too.

As for your ideas, you should have a peek at the other diagrams being used in Wireshark to see how these handle timestamp related items. Usually these kept generic, so (design) could be reused). A checkbox would probably be the way to go here leaving max space for the ‘real data’.

In what dialog do you envision the call duration column?

Thanks,
Jaap

I have added two columns for this, but I'm contemplating if it would not be better to have a checkbox that toggles the existing start and end time columns from relative to time of day timestamps. Any feedback would be appreciated as I couldn't find any UI design guidelines to help decide what's the better option here, as it is part of a Qt dialog I have used the QDateTime::fromTime_t function to format the timestamps. I couldn't quickly find the way this is done for the packet list, is there a preferred conversion for the nstime to a formatted timestamp?
