So here, someone might argue, that this indeed is plattform-specific, and not exactly a bug. You would have to sort the plugin load list to fix it.Would this really fix the underlying problem though, i.e., sorting first? I mean, if you want the opensafety plugin to be loaded before the sercosiii plugin, it does, but what if you want the reverse?
It would definitly not solve the underlying problem. but at least it would make the whole process predictable, which is definitly not the case now. Additionally, I have the problem, that I do not want to disable the SercosIII dissector, because if i do, I can not call it by it's registered name as well (in that case, the data dissector will be used) My favorite solution would be, that a dissector could register, that it should always get selected before all other dissectors. Of course this behaviour should be user-configurable. So, not a dissector disable solution, more of a ranking solution. I worked around the current situation however. If I find some time next week, I will take a look at such a ranking system, if this is something desirable. regards, Roland ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
