Hi All,
I cannot find the dialog where I configure the <protocol>.mate file. As per the Mate's "Getting Started" page there should be a "(Edit->)* Preferences->mate" dialog. However, I do not see such an option with wireshark 1.2.8.

It's now in Edit->Preferences->Protocol tree->MATE

I must be overlooking something basic, so any pointers to use the sample tcp.mate as listed on the "Getting stated" page will be useful.
2. Is there a default directory which is used to source *.mate files?

No, you have to specify the path to each file.

One warning: my experience has been that the MATE documentation on the Wiki is quite out of date.
