First: The ability to view the user's manual and the man pages and etc in a
browser is really neat; nice work !
Thanks :-)
BTW: From 0.99.5 you'll be able to press a help button on various
dialogs showing the corresponding section of the User's Guide - might be
even more helpful ;-)
I'm using Firefox on Windows XP with Wireshark SVN 20522 built with MSVC 6.
A few minor notes based upon some quick tests:
1. When I select
Help ! Manual Pages ! Wireshark I get a "Copy" pop-up box saying "Select
the place where you want to copy wireshark.html".
If I hit cancel the wireshark man page displays in Firefox.
If I hit 'copy' the file is copied but does not get displayed in Firefox.
So: what's the 'copy' popup about ??
Something about my configuration ? or what ?
My machine (XP/Firefox) simply shows the requested manpage in HTML
format. Sounds like your firefox configuration is strange. I guess that
has something to do with the local files (file:// prefix) - but i don't
have a clue about the real cause.
2. The Help ! Contents and the Help ! User' Guide both display the User's
Guide.
Is that as expected ? If so, might it be better to only have one choice
which displays the User's Guide ?
Yes, that left over from previous implementation. I've removed the
duplicate User's Guide item.
3. One time while trying out the Help ! ... functions I somehow managed to
wedge Wireshark; It wasn't using any CPU but would not respond to any mouse
clicks. When I used the task manager to kill Wireshark, the message I got was
'program not responding.... do you want to stop ... ?".
I was unable to duplicate this with a few quick tries. I'll see if I can
duplicate the problem tomorrow evening and try to see what is going on
Hmmh, without more input it will be hard to track this down.
I never experienced something like this myself.
