Hi!
I think the capture preferences dialog box can be sometimes a bit confusing (at least for the unexperienced user), because the units of the settings are missing.
Some simple suggestions to the labels:
The "File size" label could be including the unit "File size (kB):"
The "Duration" label could be including the unit "Duration (s):" or "Duration (sec):"
The "Capture length" label could be "Capture length max. 65535 bytes"
I think, this would be better, and could be implemented almost easily.
A more sophisticated dialog box solution would logically group the fields,
seperated by thin borders (are these borders possible in GTK?):
- capture input/output: interface, name resolution, promiscuous mode, filtering ...
- file: filename, file size and ring buffer settings
- display update settings
- capture limits: duration, count, ...
Thanks a lot for the ring buffer feature :-)
Best regards,
Ulf Lamping
