Allow wildcards in process filter

On the filters tab, there's a "Show only traffic from..." with a drop down showing all current processes. Linqpad has an MDI interface that changes the process number each time a script runs so it's impossible to filter on a particular script. I suggest being able to filter by substring of the process name field.

    Oops. The context menu filters have a "Hide: foo:*" but not "Show only: foo:*". Maybe the latter should exist.

    For now, the simple approach is to click Rules > Customize Rules and add:

     public static function OnPeekAtRequestHeaders(Session oSession) {
       string sProc = oSession["x-ProcessInfo"];
       if (null==sProc) sProc=String.Empty; 
       sProc=sProc.ToLower();
       if (!sProc.StartsWith("linqpad"))  oSession.Ignore();
     }

     

    Or add a menu as seen in https://stackoverflow.com/a/28080377/126229

    Right click the process name in Fiddler's main session list and choose the Filter submenu. Or you can use FiddlerScript to easily add a filter.
