configure and use more than one set of preferences and configuration files.
This can be found in the "Configuration Profiles..." menu item from the Edit
menu, or by pressing Shift-Ctrl-A. It's also possible to start wireshark
and tshark with a named profile by using the "-C ProfileName" option.
A new status pane in the main window will show the current profile.
The configuration files currently stored in the Profiles are:
- Preferences
- Capture Filters
- Display Filters
- Coloring Rules
- Disabled Protocols
- User Accessible Tables
The recent data are by design not added to the profile.
Planned future enhancements:
- make a more convenient function to switch between profiles
- add a "clone profile" button to copy an existing profile
- make the profiles list active and accept return as OK
- save users "Decode as" in the profile
- make new, clone and deletion of profiles more secure
- make some of the recent values available in the profile
This patch also fixes:
- setting default status pane sizes
- a bug setting status pane for packets when not having main lower pane.
