.

Before the combined window described above was available, each of its pages were shown as separ-
ate windows. Even though the combined window is much more convenient to use, these separate
windows are still available. The main reason is, they might process faster for very large capture
files. However, as the functionality is exactly the same as in the combined window, they won't be
discussed in detail here.
