Hi!

I think the capture preferences dialog box can be sometimes a bit confusing (at least 
for the unexperienced user), because the units of the settings are missing.

Some simple suggestions to the labels:

The "File size" label could be including the unit "File size (kB):"
The "Duration" label could be including the unit "Duration (s):" or "Duration (sec):"
The "Capture length" label could be "Capture length max. 65535 bytes"

I think, this would be better, and could be implemented almost easily.


A more sophisticated dialog box solution would logically group the fields, 
seperated by thin borders (are these borders possible in GTK?):

- capture input/output: interface, name resolution, promiscuous mode, filtering ...
- file: filename, file size and ring buffer settings
- display update settings
- capture limits: duration, count, ...


Thanks a lot for the ring buffer feature :-)

Best regards,

Ulf Lamping
