I guess current file dissectors are ok (they are only not complete). I propose start work on Fileshark by write simple file dissector for Wireshark. You meet dissector API and Wireshark. For example: *.bmp
It sometimes used on webpages, so it is in Wireshark scope. Also you will be able to add "Preview" to Wireshark (new tab like reassemble tabs? shows only when click image dissector?).

I will be happy to see only one tool, not two separated tools. I hope current executable can be extended.

By the way, if you want some help, feel free to contact with me.

Pozdrawiam / Best regards

Of course, yes. But some components doesn't need to be reimplemented (for example, hex browser).

I just wanted to emphasize this.
