Wireshark · Wireshark-users: [Wireshark-users] using preferences_common to deploy preferences across profiles

[Stuart Kendrick <skendric@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was imagining that I could create a preferences_common file 
(c:\users\{username}\appdata\roaming\wireshark\preferences_common), add 
a few tool-bar filters:

####### Filter Expressions ########
gui.filter_expressions.label: Exclude-broadcast
gui.filter_expressions.enabled: TRUE
gui.filter_expressions.expr: not eth.ig==1
gui.filter_expressions.label: TAF
gui.filter_expressions.enabled: TRUE
gui.filter_expressions.expr: tcp.analysis.flags

And see those filters appear in /all/ of my profiles.

But this turns out not to work.  Is my imagination perhaps overactive? 
And I must instead add these Filter Expressions to /all/ the preferences 
files in all my profile directories?
