I've also changed the way the secondary error message is transported from former "header message 0 secondary 0" to "header header message 0 header secondary 0" as that might be a bit more clearer, and I'll need it for further development anyway.
I was using this while debugging and not recognizing the real problem - for about four hours :-(. I'll need this feature when doing the interface (and link layer type) browsing later (transferring this data from dumpcap to Ethereal) to get a full blown privilege seperation.

primary and secondary error messages and let the parent worry about how
to display them. This means dumpcap doesn't need stub routines for
generating the formatting tags for the primary and secondary messages.
Have a separate message for capture filter errors, so that the parent
can check whether the capture filter looks like a display filter and
report the appropriate message. This means that dumpcap doesn't need a
stub routine for compiling display filters (a stub routine also means
that Ethereal won't do the check for capture filters that look like
display filters!).

necessary there.
Add a "cmdarg_err()" routine to report command-line option errors; it
creates a console if necessary, and prints the command name and the
trailing newline. Also add "cmdarg_err_cont()", which also creates a
console if necessary, and prints a trailing newline but no command name;
it's used to continue the message. Use those, rather than
"g_warning()", for errors.
That means that we no longer need to pass the command name to various
command-line argument parsing routines.

use the console_log_handler in main.c for win32 AND unix now
Currently use the log for the capturing engine (only), as I desperately needed a log output for debugging.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=14438
add a new feature to clear the currently captured packets and restart the capture with the previous parameters
various code cleanup and minor bugfixes
Win32: use millisecond resolution in capture_loop, to smooth screen update a bit (500ms instead of 1000ms)
svn path=/trunk/; revision=14059
most notably:
- moved opening of safe_file to the capture child (capture_loop.c)
- removed save_file_fd from capture_opts (no longer need to have it global)

- As capture.h is empty without libpcap defined, only include it in that
case and don't protect the file internally against libpcap any more.

This is currently still disabled, as we cannot pass all required capture flags to the child process (lack of command line parameters).
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13558
move another two capture related fields (iface and cfilter) from cfile to capture_opts
also move the handling of capture related command line options from main.c to capture.c, that way a future privilege seperated capture program can use the same code to parse it's command line than Ethereal.
It might be even possible to share this parser code even with Tethereal, didn't took a closer look at this.

split drag and drop support out of main.c into new file drag_and_drop.c, to reduce the size of main.c a bit.
Hopefully this won't break unix builds because of missing #include's, I will keep an eye on the buildbot
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13308
don't use global cfile at all but only an untpyed handle to call the cf_... functions in file.c
move the save_file member from capture_file to capture_opts, as it's only used while capturing and while preparing it
svn path=/trunk/; revision=13276
Hopefully the unspecified forward declaration of capture_options_t in main.h is portable, but buildbot will tell me. This way I need the internals of that struct only at the places I really use it.

they have LF at the end of the line on UN*X and CR/LF on Windows;
hopefully this means that if a CR/LF version is checked in on Windows,
the CRs will be stripped so that they show up only when checked out on
Windows, not on UN*X.

This matters for "update of list in real time" (sync_mode) only,
as in normal mode you wouldn't otherwise have the possibility
to stop the capture.
svn path=/trunk/; revision=11194
when the new "Rotate capture file every n second(s)" checkbox or the
-b <# of file>[:<duration>] argument are used, [t]ethereal will skip to the
next ring buffer file if the specified duration has elapsed (even if the
specified capture size is not reached). This is useful when you want to have
separate capture files per hour or day for instance.
I let the autostop filesize parameter mandatory (i.e. the "rotate capture
file after n kilobytes") but this could be no longer strictly necessary when
that new feature is used ...
Another point: it might be interesting to really truncate the file at the
switch and not the closure ... According to user comments and my own real
case tests, I might plan to enhance this point and others (still ring buffer
related) in the future.

Currently Ethereal sets and uses a default directory for reading
and writing, but only in some places. This set of patches extends
the setting of the default directory to the -w option as well as
the -r option, and causes all file dialogs to use and set the
default consistently. (I haven't changed the
Preferences/Printing/File dialog, though, as that's a special
case.)
There's also a fix for a bug where Ethereal was issuing the
message "Ring buffer requested, but capture isn't being saved to
a permanent file" even though a file was specified with -w.
There also appear to be some other cleanups in his patch.
