Wireshark · Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] tmp file naming schema

[Bill Meier <wmeier@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Jeff:

Thanks for the heads-up.

I'll change the FAQ to indicate wireshark is the prefix for the temp 
file names.

I'll also put on my ToDo list to have a look-see at changing the temp 
file names as suggested in Bug 1882.
