Feature Request: keep already expand options be expand while view cross different packet about termshark HOT 8 CLOSED

Hi - just a question or two to clarify this for me - say you're on packet #1, and you have expanded the Ethernet layer in the packet structure view. If you then move to packet #2, is your request to have the Ethernet layer (if present) expand itself too? If you were to then expand the IPv4 layer in packet #2 and move back to packet #1, should IPv4 (if present) expand itself in packet #1? I'll take a look at Wireshark's behavior as well so that I can understand this better.

sorry, should've tagged you @MythRen

They're a participant, so they will get notified when you respond, regardless of whether you tag.
You also should use some other syntax (like #1 with backticks or # 1) to refer to ordinal numbers as otherwise you're linking to issues.

@gcla yes, it's better to keep options pane to stay the same state cross packets (what options is expand keep expand, if present), just like wireshark does

wish i could help you. :)

Hi @MythRen - would you mind giving branch keepexpanded a try? It's my first go at implementing this feature, copying Wireshark's behavior, more or less. This should get it built:

git clone https://github.com/gcla/termshark
cd termshark
git checkout keepexpanded
export GO111MODULE=on
go install ./...

Then run ~/go/bin/termshark

Thanks :-)

I've merged back to master. Let me know of any bugs...
