I work with capture files containing data collected at locations all
over the world. The user community for this data is likewise all over
the world and we all use UTC time to ensure that we are talking about
the same events.
Including an option to cause Wireshark to display in UTC rather than
local would be a significant benefit to me and this community. I
suspect that it is as simple as setting a preference and inserting a
switch between localtime() and gmtime() (or their equivalents) in
whatever code is used to convert the timestamps to calendar format.
