Yes, although that was just an example. In other cases I would like to
see all the SMB Creates where the requested access == 0x120196 or
whatever ...

Yeah, but then I want to be able to step through each of the packets
found and look at the one before or after, so I am continually hitting
clear and apply and so fort. It gets to be a pain, so then I thought

one of the search results syncs the main pane so you can move around
and inspect more etc.
