@Stiq - this is the plan going forward. But first, I need to fix the initial call to the interfaces on Windows, because there is an issue with stdin buffers on Windows and a large number of interfaces. The register preferences call is a necessity, but the one in fill_in_local_interfaces could be avoided, and should be actually. I'll look into that as well. But for now, all improvements are planned for 2.4, not 2.2 regards Roland On Wed, Jan 4, 2017 at 8:20 AM, Stig Bjørlykke <stig () bjorlykke org> wrote:

One in extcap_register_preferences() and one in fill_in_local_interfaces(). This should be improved. Loading extcap could be done in the background after Wireshark has started, like is done in "Refresh Interfaces". -- Stig Bjørlykke ____________________________________________________________ _______________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://www.wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject= unsubscribe
