I was working with Etheral .10.4 and had a few thoughts, suggestions, etc....

Now that the Menu items Statistics -> Conversations & Statistics -> Endpoints have the tabs for Ethernet, Fiber Channel, IP, IPX etc,  it seems like the menu items Statistics -> Conversation Lists -> <items> and Statistics -> Endpoints Lists -> <items> could be removed as everything seems redundant.


It would be Nice if the columns in the Conversation and Statistics tabs could be resized.

I would also think several would be able to benefit from being able to copy the data from the Endpoints and Conversations tabs to clipboard or save as a file in a CSV format or something so the data could be imported into Excel or OOo Calc for sorting and comparing and calculating.


I have not been able to figure out Etheral's name resolution options compared to other network sniffing tools like Capsa.  Etheral seems to resolve our server names, but not most of our machine names.  Is this a DNS vs Netbios thing?  Capsa the other program I have used that is like Etheral seems to be able to resolve our local machine names.  Is anyone working on improving the name resolution?



The Conversations list bytes and Packets items might be easier if the column labels could be made more clear if the packets and bytes were going from A to B or B to A etc.
