Hi Guy!

As I'm glad to see that you that you are moving the dissector specific helper files to epan, I'm unsure if the prefs.c/.h in their present state should be moved there, because the prefs.c contains a ot of GTK/GUI related stuff.

Maybe it's an idea to split the parts of that file, but I didn't had a closer look at it.


Do we have a general idea/guideline, which files should be in the epan dir and which files should stay in the root dir? I would think that dissection specific things should go to epan and general Ethereal things should stay in the root dir, is that correct?


While you're moving, you might want to move the plugins dir into epan too.

Regards, ULFL
