Wireshark · Wireshark-users: Re: [Wireshark-users] Disabling "File Preview"

[Abhijit Bare <abhibare@xxxxxxxxx>]

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. 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.

Hi,

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

Thanks,
Jaap
