I'm an Ubuntu (Kubuntu) user who loves wireshark, but who tires of not being able to open libpcap files with a double-click. So I created an application-pcap mimetype and icon (from the wireshark icon).
http://www.tolaris.com/linux/application-pcap.tar.gz Unpack and run from the directory as your user: ./install_application-pcap.sh Now you can "Open with ..." wireshark and it will associate with libpcap files by mimetype. Sorry, I cannot make this association work directly without modifying the wireshark.desktop file, and I leave that kind of thing to the developers. If someone cares to make higher-resolution icons, please email them to me and I'll update the package. Don't like it? Run again with -u to uninstall. I apologise if this is the wrong place to post this. I also apologise if it is inappropriate to create a mimetype for libpcap with wireshark in mind, but I don't see the libpcap people getting on that. I hope this is useful to others, and that the awesome wireshark devs consider adding just one line to wireshark.desktop: MimeType=application/pcap Regards, Tyler -- Longum iter est per preaecepta, breve et efficax per exempla.
