All searching for plugins is also done when Wireshark is started up. It's not inconceivable that it could be modified to search afterwards, although I don't know whether there would be any problems with that. Obviously, plugins loaded after startup couldn't register dissector tables in which existing dissectors would register themselves without some extra stuff wherein a dissector could register in non-existent tables and then be really registered in those tables when they're created. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
