Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Query on loading packets using command line options

Hi,

Once instance of Wireshark can only load one capture file at a time...
hence the behaviour you are seeing. If you want to load multiple
captures in one go, you will probably want to either use mergecap or
start multiple instances of WS.
