Yes, but it would be very nice if this could be done from the packet view, as well.

I love the conversation list feature. However, when I'm analyzing a trace and deciding that I want to concentrate on a particular "conversation" based on something I'm seeing while examining the packet view, I shouldn't have to bring up the conversation list (and reprocess the entire trace), find the conversation that I want a second time, and THEN filter down. Conversation list is for a different mental "mode" of analysis.

I often find it useful to select "Follow TCP stream" from the packet list, it's a great shortcut when I'm trying to isolate a conversation. Sometimes I need the text reassembly, usually with the protocols I examine, I don't. Usually I just want the "conversation" isolation.

I've also been thinking that it would be extremely nice if we added a right-click option when an IP address field (or another L2 or L3 address) is selected that allows us to quickly build an address filter (i.e. with IP address, it will automatically build an ip.addr==A.B.C.D display filter).

If you just want to filter for a specific UDP conversation then ethereal can
already do this.

In ethereal,  Tools/Statistics/Conversation List/UDP
click a conversation and select to filter using the popup menu

That is a lot more than what I was looking for.  Just the simple
filtering is what I wanted, anything more is gravy.
