           Summary: Use more meaningful temp file:

           Product: Wireshark
           Version: 0.99.6
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Low
         Component: Wireshark
        AssignedTo: wireshark-bugs@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
        ReportedBy: fpeters@xxxxxxxxxx

Jari Aalto:

The current capture file is named:

  /tmp/etherXXXXX<plus random changacters>

SUGGESTION

To later view the logs the log a better name could be used. Spec:

   /tmp/wireshark.YYYY-MM-DD--HHMM.<iface>.xxxxxx

And example:

  /tmp/wireshark.2007-04-15--1355.eth0.asdfGth

This would make it easy to list the files, and grep the content
(e.g. according to iface and time).
