If this added the pipe to a preference file that would be even better, as it
would persist between Wireshark sessions. It might help pipes feel more
loved, and not like a hack added on.

pipe, it's opened as a pipe connected to a program writing a pcap (or
pcap-ng?) capture file.

Hi Guy,
I was aware of this in the context of the -i arguments, but not that it
could be
specified in the GUI. We need to find a way to do this. Maybe an button
which
will add a named pipe to the list of interfaces.
I'll talk to Irene when she's available again to bring back the capability
to
specify named pipes in the GUI.
Best regards
Michael
