The preferences for Console Applications currently allows the use of variables:
%h (host) %p (port) %d (Console title) %i Project UUID) %n ( Node UUID) and %c (Server URL)
The Point help for Packet Capture only shows support for %c (Capture File)
Although %d is used in the window title to describe the capture location.
e.g. -o "gui.window_title:%d"
I propose that another variable (%P or %T) should be available on both to contain the project name
(the project name is displayed in the title bar and can currently be set from FILE->Edit Project).
This variable could then be use on the wireshark command line
e.g. -o "gui.window_title: %T %d"
or could be added to the capture comment for wireshark
--capture-comment "%P %d"
(The capture comment is saved in the pcapng capture file properties)
This would provide a useful record of which project was used to generate a capture.
