would it make sense to add version sections to the preferences file? Parsing the preference file would a bit more work, but one could separate the modified preferences in a proper way from each other. Extra benefit: One could use the same preference file with different (older) versions of Wireshark, without any problem (if such a feature get's backported). Something like this: <version: 1.6.0> ... </version: 1.6.0> <version: 1.8.0> ... </version: 1.8.0> Regards Kurt
Very neat idea. It would probably make more sense to split into minversion (for new preferences introduced in a certain release) and maxversion (for preferences deprecated in a certain release) but the concept is cool. It wouldn't solve this particular problem unfortunately, because 1.8 and prior don't have support for those tags and would throw a warning (or an error?) if it saw them. It would be nice to have some version of this going forward for 1.10+ though.
