So why is it easier to handle with the directory being a preference? As far as I know, we don't have a preference for the directory in which Lua scripts are found, for example. Is it because the extcaps were in *different* directories, and you needed to point Wireshark at the directory for the extcap on which you're working? If so, does that make the path more like $PATH, so that you might want to have a *list* of directories? ___________________________________________________________________________ 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
