Hi,

For me, wireshark tries to show a preview, only when I click on a file
in the displayed list. It does not try to read in all the files by just
opening the "File Open" dialog. ....
That is both true, but it does try to stat all the files in the directory.
.... If I click on a large file, it times out
in 3 seconds. The File Open dialog does pause, however, if there are a
lot of files in the directory.
That timeout is the preview. That pause are the stats at work, see
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=310642
That may be a reason why preview==0 hasn't been given a specific meaning, yet.
Thanks,
Jaap

Hi,
Should '0' be interpreted as disable file preview? That would worth an
enhancement bug.
Thanks,
