The settings in the "View" menu do not persist when using Wireshark 2. Here are
the steps I am performing:
1. From the View menu, deselect the Main Toolbar so it isn't shown
2. Close Wireshark
3. Open Wireshark - the Main Toolbar is back to visible. I expect the setting
to persist!
I looked at the "recent" file in ...\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark\, and the
gui.toolbar_main_show: gets written to the proper value (according to the view
menu setting) when Wireshark is closed. However, when opened again, Wireshark
ignores this setting. The view menu shows the main toolbar as checked
(enabled), regardless of the contents of the "recent" file when launching the
app.
I have also tried creating a custom profile, and it behaves the same way;
Wireshark ignores the "recent" file when launching, and consequently the
settings are not persistent.
The Wireshark Legacy performs like I think it should. It respects the settings
in the "recent" file when opening.
This issue isn't limited to the view settings. The filters, status bar, and
probably more items, are similarly affected.
