The '''Analyze selected PCAP files together''' button will start analyzing all packet capture files, that have been marked with the checkbox at the start of the row, together. This will happen in a mergecap-style fashion so that the packet capture files are merged based on packet timestamps. Progress will be shown at the top of the page for every file separately. | The '''Analyze selected PCAP files together''' button will start analyzing all packet capture files, that have been marked with the checkbox at the start of the row, together.

=== File system operations === | |||
The meatballs menu in each entry reveals the options | |||
* '''Rename''' | |||
* '''Move''' | |||
* '''Copy''' | |||
* '''Delete''' | |||
Renaming will open a text box where the new name of the file can be entered. | |||
Deleting will ask for confirmation before removing the file from disk. | |||
Moving and copying will open a dialog similar to a file explorer. Here the location of the target file can be specified by simply navigating through the folder structure like in any common file browser. If huge files are moved or copied, a new "Pending File System" entry will be created, showing the progress of the file transfer as well as any errors that might have occurred. Any currently pending operations may also be cancelled here. | |||
