Describe what you would like to have

When analyzing a DLT file in Chipmunk with the corresponding Fibex file loaded, I would like to see the individual signals (names and values) of each message individually.
Currently, only the entire payload bytes are shown with no way to tell how many signals there are or which bytes belong to which signal.

I'm imagining either:

• an additional view, that lists all signals (their names and values) for a single message.
• or an additional column in the main window that show the signals + values for each message directly in a format like: "signal1: value1, signal2: value2, ..."

Or maybe both :) I think I would prefer the first option, because that could show more details (e.g. HEX, decimal and string decoding).

Very thanks for the suggestion. I think it would make sense to have an individual Details view for the supported file formats as the current generic one doesn't provide much more value.

I think, this will be one of the early new features which we will plan in the upcoming Chipmunk Version 4 with native Rust front-end as we can do the whole implementation in one scope without having to deal with two worlds Electron & Rust and the multiple communication worlds in between them.
