I tried this with the latest svn version 45386, and .\ seems to work ... well,
sort of. If I configure Wireshark to Always start in .\ then:
mkdir test1
cd test1
<path/to/>wireshark
<Open or Save a file in this directory>
If I try to open a capture file, the test1 directory is accessed as expected,
but if I capture some packets and try to save a new capture file, the previous
directory is accessed, not the test1 directory. Continuing ...
<Now quit wireshark>
cd ..
mkdir test2
cd test2
<path/to/>wireshark
<Select File/Open>
As before, attempting to open a capture file brings up the test2 directory as
expected, but if I capture packets and try to save a new capture file, the
previous directory, in this case, test1, is opened.
Another observation: File->Open does not seem to work as expected if the
current directory contains spaces, for example, C:\Documents and Settings.
