This is not a bug, but a request really if a feature could be added to
Wireshark.

Whenever I'm working in it, my flow is generally to eradicate the noise and
then move steadily closer to the traffic that I would be most interested in.
One could argue that it's possible to start defining the interesting traffic
and just zoom in on it, but there's possibility of losing something of value in
that.

For this to work, I have to constantly tweak the display filter and by the time
I get to my traffic of interest, my display filter is a mile long, and to get
further specific, I have to add on to that too.

Would it be possible for Wireshark to allow to open the results of a display
filter in a new tab or window, where only the packets that match the filter are
shown? For example if I add the noise to a display filter like "!arp &&
!multicast && !ipv6" can a new window show just what the results of that filter
would be?

Wireshark is an awesome product and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for
making it even better every day!
