Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] How do I get my dissector to work in the Display Filter

My plugin heuristic dissector foo seems to work fine, except I cannot filter on it. If I type foo in the filter box the box goes pink. However if I type foo.len (one of my fields), the box goes green. If I click the 'Expression...' button I can see my protocol and all the fields I declared.

I must be missing some some step registering the protocol, but if I am I don't understand how I can manage to filter on a field. Other plugins seem to let you just type the protocol name and they filter on it, so I should be able to do what I want.

Anybody got any clues about what I am doing wrong or missing?

TIA
Hal
