That would also help with post-dissectors for obscure protocols which we probably want disabled by default. We discussed one a while ago: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev/200706/msg00065.html which, oops, it looks like the author found a way to disable his dissector by default but we never reviewed/committed it. _______________________________________________ Wireshark-dev mailing list Wireshark-dev@wireshark.org http://www.wireshark.org/mailman/listinfo/wireshark-dev
