Klondike, Thanks for your interest and the suggestion. We have discussed in the past [1] how collapsing based on port state is missing information about the ttl of any responses (e.g. one port could be blocked by a firewall, and another by the host, but both would be collapsed into one "extraports" element, even though the responses have different TTLs). While this is not directly related to your suggestion, it is an issue that touches some of the same functions you would have to modify in order to support your suggestion, and may interest you. I look forward to seeing how you tackle the problem! Please do subscribe to the list, since that will allow your messages to be immediately posted without going through moderation.

Hi dear nmap hackers! First of all thanks a lot for such a nice tool, it has saved my ass debugging network issues quite a few times :) I'm writing you because for some uses port grouping can be problematic when parsing outputs (specially if more than one group is created). Initially I was just thinking on patching PortList::isIgnoredState(int state) on portlist.cc with a simple new option to disable grouping, but I suppose there are other needs too aside from just enabling/disabling grouping for all states. And this is the reason of this e-mail, I have to write this feature, I'd like it to be merged with nmap and I believe it will be nice if it is of help to as many users out there. So please send your ideas (and please CC me as I'm not subscribed to this list).
