After renaming the color filters file, Wireshark then used the default colors. If I disabled colors from the view menu, delete the default ones in the color filters, then reimport mine & re-enable colors, it is still the same.

Yes, you did something completely useless, so there's no change :-)

Well, did you read the first point I've noted *literally*?!? Did you renamed the colorfilters file in C:\Program Files (as these *are* the default colors) - and restart?

Don't do anything with the view menu and import/export, that won't help.

As far as I know there are no special (international) characters in my personal profile folder.

Your profile path doesn't look "bad", so that's not the problem.

I have attached a zip containing the color filters, preferences dfilters cfilters and the screenshot you requested. Plus a file called "My original color filter file" which is the one that works fine with 0.99.4.

Could you open a bug report on bugzilla for this (and add the zip file), so it won't get lost?

Regards, ULFL

Thanks for your help,

Keith.

Sounds like your personal filters are just not used/found now - for
whatever reasons.


Do you have some special (international) characters in your personal
profile folder c:\documents and settings\...?

Could you try the following:

- "disable" the global colorfilters file (e.g. c:\Program
Files\colorfilters), e.g. rename it to something like colorfilters.old.
After restarting Wireshark I guess you won't have any colors left.
- send us a screenshot of your folders info, from Help/About
Wireshark/Folders. Maybe there's something strange here.
- send us your personal colorfilters file. So we can try it for ourself.

Regards, ULFL
