I hardly disagree, that renaming "display filters" to "dissection filters" would be more intuitive,
unless you no what a dissector for Ethereal is, this term doesn't make any good sense for the novice user.


When I was new to ethereal, it took some time to be sure what an dissector was.
The term dissecting isn't used by other network analyzers, I was familiar with the term "decoding" for this before.


BTW: The term dissecting could be applied to both capturing and displaying, so IMHO this isn't a good name for this.
