The preferences section 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 preferences section for Packet Capture only shows support for %c (Capture File) in point help
but %d is used in the window title to describe the capture location.

-o "gui.window_title:%d"

I propose that another variable (%P or %T) should be available on both Console Applications and Packet Capture to contain the project name (as set in FILE->Edit Project).

This would be a useful addition to the wireshark command line
--capture-comment "%P %d"

The capture comment is saved in the pcapng capture file properties
This would be very useful for record keeping.
