Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Adding Deltatime to default columns

It's confusing that there is a "Default" profile that may not contain the "default settings" used to create a new profile.
And there is no place to store modified "default settings" outside of a profile.

The reason for that is, that a lot of people doing network analysis actually add that column as a first thing anyway when they start up the program and it makes therefore sense to have it as a default option. Before we do that, I just wanted to gather some opinions about that, therefore posting it here.

Indeed. I did that long ago, and generally don't need to think about
it any more. However, from time to time I run Wireshark on different
VMs and have to re-add it.

However, I am not sure it is worth burdening the majority of users
with a change they might not understand. I like it because it gives me
info on how quickly the client got the next request out but it might
not be something the majority of users are interested in.
