Very cool, thanks! This would indeed solve my issue. However, I'm not a bugzilla jock. It looks to me like somebody has submitted a patch, but it hasn't been integrated into the main source yet (Status=NEW). Is that correct? I could always build my own, but that sort of defeats the purpose (i.e. I wouldn't need the plugin in my home directory - I could just put it into my built copies of wireshark). What about preferences, do they get stored in $WIRESHARK_HOME as well? That would be unfortunate - it would be undesirable to maintain multiple copies... -Bob _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
