Hi,
Do you know if it is possible to get from a dissector the preferences of another dissector ? 
I don't find anything for that. But perhaps I don't search well...


Yes, it's possible.
Just make the variable for the preference non-static (and maybe put it in an include file). For example, see "mtp3_standard" used by "packet-mtp3.c" (which has the preference and the variable), "packet-mtp3mg.c", "packet-sccp.c", and others.
