My understanding is that it is not intended to be activated by default, but only in "development mode" (at least according to the comments in the Gerrit patch if I remember correctly).
I don't really want to switch stuff on and off all the time. Many "interesting" things are noted during normal work.

tshark.pod needs to be fixed, but tshark -h gives you _ws.col.Info.
Which you now fixed.
Could we plese agree to either *always* use small letters or to make thefilter names case insensitive? Also: ========= $ tshark -T fields -e asdf ** (process:13516): WARNING **: 'asdf' isn't a valid field! tshark: Some fields aren't valid $ tshark -T fields -e _ws.col.info Capturing on 'Wi-Fi'

Right now it's the column title as you configured it. Maybe it should be made case insensitive, but there is a real logic (and not inconsistency). I do not ceck this code part and whether _ws.col.XXX could (should?) trigger an error if the syntax is wrong.
Sorry, that was easy to misunderstand: The inconsistency remark was only about how non-existent field names are handled, not about the spelling. Thanks Jörg -- Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de> We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
