Dear all,

I think it would be a very good idea to make this functionality
more visible.

Best regards
Michael

I don't like this use of hidden fields. Yes, the hf_ip_checksum_bad
field is not part of the packet, but it should still be shown in the
GUI protocol tree, so that users know that it exists and can be used
in a filter expression.


What about the use of the "ip.addr" hidden field?  You don't see
"ip.addr" mentioned when you select the source or destination address,
so you don't necessarily know you can filter on it.

Do we need some way to show hidden fields in general?


Yes, that would be a good option to have.
