Re: Adding DSCP column in Wireshark 1.4.0rc1

["Keith French" <keithfrench () btconnect com>]

One thing I have noticed this morning is that the filter syntax has changed in 1.4.0rc1. In 1.2.x it used to be:-
 
ip.dscp.value
 
which did display just the decimal for a packet under this column heading e.g.
 
46
 
whereas the new filter syntax in 1.4.0rc1 is:-
 
ip.dsfield.dscp
 
and this displays the verbose description for a packet under this column heading:-
 
Differentiated Services Codepoint: Expedited Forwarding (0x2e)
 
I have also noticed that the same has happened to the 802.1P COS field when used as a column. It uses the filter syntax 
of:-
 
vlan.priority
 
and this column now displays the verbose value on any packet where the 802.1P Priority is set to decimal 3.
 
Excellent Effort
 
Whereas it used to display just the decimal of:-
 
3
 
If these columns would need to be unresolved to display the decimal, please could you make this an option? This way it 
would keep column widths for these two fields to a minimum, whilst still conveying useful information?

...which might let us have the type of column and resolved vs. unresolved as separate notions, even for non-custom 
columns.
