Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] The empty "Tools" menu toplevel item must be removed before

Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2006 18:13:18 +0100
I got the tools menu hidden if there's no items in it...

Now the problem is that if there's are menu items in it it appears
last (i.e. after "Help") which is not how it should be...

I been trying to figure out how to move it, but so far without
success, any hints?

IF the lua scripting would only be missing some features and show some bugs from time to time that would be ok.
It's still missing features...
It isn't yet documented...
But I'm at the point in which others have to help me find the bugs...
I don't know of any I haven't fixed... I know there are many more but
I just don't know where.

BUT - AFAIK the lua scripting support is just buggy, the documentation is outdated and misleading, ...
I'll be working on the documentation on the next few days, I'll pull
out at least a summary reference manual,  and some examples.

... in it's current form it's just not ready for "prime time" IMHO.
That's my opinion as well, btw  It does no harm unless invoked. So I
prefer it there (maybe disabled from the init.lua) but available.

Releasing it to the public now will end in a lot of discussion, discouraging a lot of users about bugs and alike - they will never try it again when it's actually ready.
What do you mean by releasing it?
Source code its been in the repo (and source tarballs) for months...
A Binary (plugin) for windows has been available since Ethereal...

Everything has it's time, and the current lua integration isn't there yet IMHO.
Which are the milestones?
