Hi,

The MDI interface was discussed at SharkFest'08 is deemed a long distance goal. Currently the dissector engine model doesn't support it very well, so this obstacle has to be cleared before MDI comes into view.

Thanx,
Jaap

Hello there,

Just wanted to request the ability to have multiple files opened simultaneously from within a single wireshark process.

Often times I'll have multiple capture files from which I want to compare packets.
