Hi List!

Just wondering why the preferences file now uses 130kB!!!

After having a quick look, the esp preferences alone are taking 58kB!!! They are appearing 16 times in the file, with 15 times repeating the same field explanation, where a simple "same syntax as field xyz_1" would be just enough.

Please reduce the size of this file, as this will also reduce the load time of Wireshark.

Regards, ULFL
