I did not realise there was a preference file.
Now looking at http://www.wireshark.org/docs/man-pages/tshark.html I can see
there should be a global and a personal preference file.
The manual does not seem to give the actual names for these files, and I
don't have a 'preferences' directory.
Do you know what the filenames and directory path should be?
Thanks again
Hal

Hi,
Question: is our preference already in the preferences file?
Then your default gets overwritten by this stored value. The default is
default only when the preference is newly introduced.
Thanx,
Jaap
