[Wireshark-dev] Warnings when loading preferences

2012-08-01 Thread Stig Bjørlykke
Hi. After upgrading my local wireshark to latest trunk I get some warnings from my preferences. I suspect someone rewrote the preference format without handling / converting old values? The user should not loose the preferences when upgrading, just because we changed the format. 12:33:02

Hello Kurt, The idea for having a CloudShark instance available to the Wireshark core team originally surfaced at Sharkfest. We would be happy to provide this. We'd also be happy to host it or it could live with other Wireshark resources. Our virtual appliance can run under a VM or be installed

Technically the prefences aren't obsolete, they are just renamed for (internally) optimized code. Should the old names still be noted as such in a current preferences file? The main reason for the new optimized code was to get the general preferences to use the preference API, like all of

Hi, I think we have reached a point where we need some more testing and verification on GTK3. Perhaps we should build a Win GTK3 installer for people to try out. Is the OSX GTK3 port in better shape than the GTK2 one? If so perhaps we should build for OSX. Some things that might need some

We are interested in extending Wireshark's GUI support for adding pcap-ng comments to editcap. It seems like editcap is a logical place for this type of functionality. This would allow other tools to modify the comment field of pcap-ng files. We envisioned a simple command-line interface that
