It probably will. It's in development and I still haven't found all the leaks.
0.3.2 should have fixed some, but with the changes it introduced I problably added
some others.

It's on the todo list. It hasn't been a priority yet. Among other things because I
really don't know how to do it properly. I can't just put a "Show incoming traffic
only" button for links, because what direction is incoming for a link? And if I'm
to draw them both, I'm not really sure what is the best way to do it. This is an
open invitation for everybody to brainstorm about it. :-)
