Re: epan_t and capture_file

[Simon Barber <simon.barber () meraki net>]

I ask because I am working out how to connect the wlan_radio dissector with
the wireless timeline UI code. Right now the only use of the data field in
epan_t that I can find is as a link to the capture_file. Also the only link
from the capture_file->window field is to the QT MainWindow, so in theory I
can from the dissector test if the window is set, and if so access the
MainWindow, and thus the WirelessTimeline directly. OK, or should I find
another way?
