1) add another field to incorporate the "Time delta since previous

already.
2) have an option in the "frame" protocol preferences to select the
behaviour of "frame.time_delta". The default would be to use
"Time delta since previous displayed frame" and the alternative
would be "Time delta since previous frame in the trace-file"
Does anyone have another solution for this bug or maybe another idea
for solving it? What would be the prefered way of solving this bug?
(2) sounds confusing to users (1 field with 2 different meanings?).
Anyway, fields are cheap so why not just add a new one?
I remember some reluctance when I added the http.x_forwarded_for
field, so that's why I thought a preference might do the trick too.
Next question is of course, how will we call this new field?
- frame.time_delta2
- frame.time_delta_file
- frame.time_delta_abs
- frame.time_gap
- frame.time_diff
What about renaming the current field "frame.time_delta_displayed" and
name the new one "frame.time_delta"? That changes the current field but
it sounds a whole lot more intuitive to me.
