Re: Wireshark Qt : Decode As

[Joerg Mayer <jmayer () loplof de>]

If someone starts to work on the Decode As stuff for qtshark:
Can you please give me the same command line options as with tshark?
The need to in some cases click half a dozen decode as dialogs and
repeat that on the next capture again has annoyed me quite a few
times with gtkshark.

Thanks

We are stuck with technology when what we really want is just stuff that
works. Some say that should read Microsoft instead of technology.
