Wireshark-dev: Re: [Wireshark-dev] Eliminate annoying color filter dialog

I regularly switch between a custom build of Wireshark for analyzing my
company's protocols and the trunk when doing general Wireshark
development/testing.  Unfortunately, I have lots of custom color filters in
place that are invalid for the trunk for obvious reasons.  But every time I
switch to the trunk, for every custom color filter I have, I get an annoying
dialog telling me, "Could not compile color filter "blah" from saved filters."
I've made a change in my local sandbox to avoid this, but would anyone have any
grumblings if I permanently eliminate that dialog?  Here's all I do to get rid
of it:

                                 "Could not compile color filter %s from saved
filters.\n%s",
                                               name, dfilter_error_msg);
+#endif
                                 skip_end_of_line = TRUE;
                                 continue;
                         }

How about a tick box "Don't show this message again"? or is that to complicated to implement?

Anders
