WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR should do the job thanks !

Hi Matt,

Why wouldn't that work on all platforms?  Is the concern that you

guaranteed not to have plugins on any of the machines you're using?

That delegates the complexity from wireshark to me but while I know
about the linux conventions, I don't know about windows or MacOS and
it's not like I can test the outcome (but outside con). If I could use
a wireshark flag, I would have the guarantee it works on all the
platforms supported by wireshark.

You can rely on WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR. In order to make this explicit, I
submitted a documentation patch here:
https://code.wireshark.org/review/34113

If you set WIRESHARK_CONFIG_DIR to an empty directory, it will not load
user-specific settings. It will still load settings from the global
installation folder, but that should be pretty static.

Yes - either compiled *or* Lua plugins, so I don't see a need to
treat compiled and Lua plugins differently.

I am fine with disabling everything. I was just mentioning the possibility.
Is there some work done on this I could follow ? or should I open a
ticket on the tracker ?

Would the above environment variables work for you without requiring new
options?
