It would definitly not solve the underlying problem. but at least it would make the whole process predictable, which is definitly not the case now. Additionally, I have the problem, that I do not want to disable the SercosIII dissector, because if i do, I can not call it by it's registered name as well (in that case, the data dissector will be used) My favorite solution would be, that a dissector could register, that it should always get selected before all other dissectors. Of course this behaviour should be user-configurable. So, not a dissector disable solution, more of a ranking solution. I worked around the current situation however. If I find some time next week, I will take a look at such a ranking system, if this is something desirable. regards, Roland ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev@wireshark.org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-requ...@wireshark.org?subject=unsubscribe
