Wireshark-dev: [Wireshark-dev] Configuration Profiles

Does this make sense?:

In the menu item Edit / Configuration Profiles there is the ability to list “profiles”

This is a great start but I wonder if there aren’t a couple of things that would considerably strengthen this list:

 

1)      The ability to launch / focus on / create context for a profile from a pulldown or ….. ?  I think I figured it out but it was pretty weird. 

2)      A rather more direct way to define a profile?  I found myself guessing a lot before I was able to define 3 profiles (one for each active interface) by hopping between various dialog boxes.  There was a real danger that I’d modify an already-defined profile while trying to create a new one.

 

The wiki doesn’t address “Configuration Profile” so the way of using this notion remains obscure? 

 

Should there be a Wish List item or items?

 

Thanks,
