What about a feature which allows us to
hide all marked packets
or
show only marked packets?

Best regards
Michael

Hi list,

I'd like to implement packet deletion. for many things deeting packets
is *very* similar to marking and unmarking packets. I however have
some questions, so I list some statements below:


1. If I delete a marked packet, I should unmark it too.
2. All (context) menu items on a deleted packet must be disabled,
except for undeletion.
3. If a deleted packet is selected, its dissection tree must not be
shown.
4. Deleting packets in a capture may change the way a capture is
dissected. For example, if I delete a WSP redirect packet, then the
redirection conversation will not be built if the packets are
processed again.
5. Because of 4. we may want to have a "redissect" button be active
whenever we suspect something will change dissection.
6. Deleted packets "never" match a display filter.

Comments are welcome!



What do you mean with packet deletion?

I think he means to mark them as deleted.


Do you want to simply hide the packets, or really remove them from the
capture file?

I don't think it will be easy to delete them from the capture file. We will have to write the capture file out again to do this.
