Hi Hadriel,

this makes sense to me. Your proposal to keep at current level the most
common protocols and push the other ones in a sub menu seems a rather good
tradeoff. BTW it might make sense to move 'Compare' and 'Flow Graph' to the
same group as 'Endpoints', 'Packet Length', 'IO Graph', ...

Regards,
Pascal.

[Wireshark-dev] Protocol stats list in GUI

2015-01-04 Thread Hadriel Kaplan
With the addition of another protocol statistic [1], I noticed the list of the 
various stats is growing long and ugly in the Statistics menu of the GUIs (both 
GTK and Qt).  It's also a jumble of generic things such as 'Flow Graph' and 
'Compare...', and protocol-specific stats. And some of those protocol-specific 
ones are arguably "niche" protocols - i.e., ones that only a very small 
population of Wireshark users would ever use.

Perhaps the protocol-specific ones should be moved to a "Protocol" sub-menu of 
Statistics?  Or we could leave HTTP, TCP StreamGraph, and WLAN Traffic at the 
Statistics menu level, and move the other protocol-specific ones to a "Other 
Protocols" sub-menu?

And Flow Graph isn't really a statistic - perhaps move it to the Analyze menu?
