I'll submit a patch that adds the option "Do NOT issue a warning if the packet size exceeds the snapshot length in the capture header." in Preferences>Protocols>Frame and set the default to not issue a warning (checkmark set). If unchecked, the warning will be "pcap: <n>-byte packet exceeds snapshot length of <n>." rather than "pcap: File has packet larger than file's snapshot length."
So, again, why bother offering the option to issue the warning at all? Why not just remove it - i.e., hardwire in the "do NOT issue a warning..." option?
