Could we also get rid of that preview thing in the open dialogue where
it tries to scan the capture file content and count the number of
frames?
I would like to keep it.

Or allow it to be disabled by a preference setting?
Maybe, or better find a solution everybody can live with.

If one usually works with very large captures  this preview thing
takes a lot of unnessecary time while one has to wait until ethereal
allows one to clock the
Open button.
I understand what you mean.

What size does your capture files have?

How long does it last, as the scan should stop after 3 seconds.
