what about in the middle disection window ... say for example i wanted to copy a window size or header length from a tcp packet directly to the clipboard ... in fact it would be really nice if the menu was plugable altogether or @ least where an external program could take the packet data and do something w/ it ... for example in say snort ... something like "Create rule from packet ...", etc.
