It is a first "draft" of new captures interfaces, only display the list of interface and select for launch capture, options don't (yet) work. We would like your comments / opinion / review... (and also patch !) about this new dialog window. The idea is replace "Interface list" and (big) Capture options by only 1 window/dialog. For people, who don't have Qt in your machine, i attach a screenshot of GUI. Just some general observations: 1. Could the Promiscuous Mode column contain check-boxes so that each interface can be set as required without having to go into an interface specific dialog? The main promiscuous mode check-box should be labelled as setting promiscuous mode on *all* interfaces or similar. 2. The Capture enable check-boxes seem to be a carry over from the GTK version. Another approach is to drop the column and check-boxes and make the rows multi-select so that the user just selects the rows for the interfaces they wish to capture on. 3. Make some space for the "capture on all interfaces" check-box that the GTK version has? 4. Somewhat similar to 1, can the cells for the Interface name and Snaplen be made editable if clicked so that the user can modify values directly without having to go to another dialog. Maybe that would just make this dialog too busy and does belong in a configure dialog somewhere. It looks a great start anyway. While there it would be nice to get some of the details available on Windows in there as well, especially information about offloading. It should be possible to get (at least some of) it on Linux systems as well. See enclosed picture.
