I've added this feature, as it's frequently used by win32 users (advanced ones?). I use it regularly on other programs and a bit disappointed that it wasn't working with Ethereal.



Well, drag'n drop has already worked with the desktop icon for ages on win32. :)


Sorry, I don't get what you mean with the desktop icon.

Could you explain this?

I am talking about the ethereal icon on the windows desktop which is provided by the nsis installer. You can start Ethereal with a double click on it, or by dropping a file on it. Ethereal will try to open the file dropped on that icon.

However, open a capture file by dropping the file into the application window itself is a nice new enhancement. Nice work.
