Re: Disabling "File Preview"

[Abhijit Bare <abhibare () gmail com>]

For me, wireshark tries to show a preview, only when I click on a file in
the displayed list. It does not try to read in all the files by just opening
the "File Open" dialog. If I click on a large file, it times out in 3
seconds. The File Open dialog does pause, however, if there are a lot of
files in the directory.
