Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I read somewhere on the Internet that you can do "select summary" and "select long" printing and this can be done by "Control Clicking" but when I tried that it did not work.

For example how do I print just the first two DNS packets? or how do I print a selected summary of all TCP connections including two packets of every TCP connection found?

I'll appreciate any hints.

Deogratias.

We don't currently support selecting multiple packets.

Why are you trying to select multiple packets?  Currently, all that would let you do would be to save or print multiple packets to a file, but there are workarounds (e.g., select them with a range, or mark them).

It would be useful to allow that selecting multiple packets (although, of course, nothing would be displayed in the packet detail window if you did that), so we should work on enabling that at some point (especially if, for example, we allow copying from the packet display window to the window system's clipboard, so that you can copy multiple summary lines to the clipboard).
