Copy as printable text option is nomore

  • retag add tags

Hi, I just installed the latest wireshark version and there is no "copy as printable text" option anymore when right clicking the packet. Is it a bug? If not how can i make the same action in this version?

Before the update if i right click any packet there was an option "Copy->As printable text" like this

Wireshark-Before

And now there is no such an option. Like this

Wireshark-After

Can you update the question with output of wireshark -v or Help->About Wireshark:Wireshark tab?
Helps to verify the exact version and platform being run on.

Well, "as printable text" was very useful for me. No other current option gives the same output...

What comes close is 'Follow stream' and select & copy the needed text.

I don't see 'Follow stream' option in the menu in the screenshot above... Where can I find it?

In the screenshot it is shown as 'Follow', above 'Copy', select the proper stream type in the submenu.
