Thanks for the heads-up.

I'll change the FAQ to indicate wireshark is the prefix for the temp file names.

I'll also put on my ToDo list to have a look-see at changing the temp file names as suggested in Bug 1882.

Bug 1882 asks for an even more descriptive temp file name.

Also (as commented in the bug): there's a FAQ question that needs to be updated as a result of the temp file name change.

Subject: [Wireshark-dev] tmp file naming schema

I'm wondering why the temp files are named eg. as /tmp/etherXXXX7yuxaS and not with a naming schema like /tmp/wiresharkXXXXXXXXXX ?
