Title: Saving settings as "Profiles"

Hi guys

Following on from recent comments about being able to save "user decodes", has anyone been working on being able to save Wireshark settings under different "profiles"? There's some discussion of this on the Wiki, and it would obviously be a very useful feature if user decodes are persisted. Or is there a feeling that this question is best left until there is the next generation PCAP file format to play with, as settings could be embedded in that?

Or is the suggestion on the  Wiki  that profiles could be implemented as sub-directories of the user's settings directory better? That would mean profiles could be applied to different files and different live captures.

My project "budget" for working on Wireshark is running out, and while I'm trying to get a build environment set up at home (cheers for the work on a Visual Studio Express build Ulf!), I'm not going to have the time to tackle this in the next month. But if this would be useful I'll add it to the list of things I'm trying to persuade my manager to pay me to work on in April (apologies for being a money grubbing type).

Cheers

Doug
