Wireshark · Ethereal-dev: [Ethereal-dev] New: global default files for cfilters/colorfilters/dfilters

[Ulf Lamping <ulf.lamping@xxxxxx>]

Hi List!

I've recently provided global default files for
cfilters/colorfilters/dfilters.

The idea behind this is: after installation of a new Ethereal, the
dialogs for "Color Filters", "Display Filters" and "Coloring Rules" are
just left blank. There's no real starting point for own experiments, and
"learning by doing" can be very difficult here.

For a deeper explanation, see:
http://wiki.ethereal.com/Development_2fExamples


I've also added support for global cfilters/dfilters files at all, only
personal files were implemented till now.

NSIS (Win32): will install these files into the Ethereal Program dir,
but don't overwrite existing ones.

makefile.am: I've added the three new files to EXTRA_DIST and
pkgdata_DATA, which *seems* to be the right places.


TO DO:

At least the colorfilters file needs some more "fine tuning".

Could someone with more knowledge of the unix installers might have a
look at the makefile.am and the various unix installers?
