I know you dislike tshark buffering unless explicitly told to do so, but I really think people don't perceive the difference of buffering vs. not in tshark except for the performance impact - what they perceive is whether the output is what they expected it to be. Making them add another option switch that basically means "make it work", is kinda silly. :)I'd be alright with this. Perhaps, however, have -R on its own behave as it currently does (and as 1-pass -d will), but print a warning to the effect of "-R on its own is deprecated. Did you mean -2R or -d?". This would mean that scripts using -R will continue to work as-is (unless they choke trying to parse the warning, but that's unlikely since it will be to stderr not stdout). At some future date we can decide to either disable single-pass -R entirely or have it imply -2.Sounds fine to me too.
I've updated the bug with a link to this discussion and a quick summary. Were you planning to code this or should I add it to my todo list?
