Disable rpcap-interface discovery on startup
Hi together,
is there any hidden option to disable the rpcap-interface discovery on Programm startup.
The newest Wiresahrk Version store all known remote interfaces inside the "recent-common" file wich is located "C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Wireshark"
After the comment: "######## Recent remote hosts, cannot be altered through command line ########"
The Problem is, that Wireshark search on very Startup for all these rpcap Interfaces which are not reachable anymore and the startup process take so much of time and often the programm breaks and i must restart it again.
I hope there is any advanced configuration to doable this behaviour
thank you, Basti

Has anybody a solutions for this problem?
Stop Wireshark, try deleting the entries from the file, restart Wireshark.

If i add a remote interface in the next session it will also be cached in the config file. If i start wireshark then again he try to connect to the cached rpcap ip.
From my understanding this make in the most of scveanrios no sense. So i preferred a config flag to activate/deactivate this behaviour
thanks you Basti
Then you would need to either submit a change to the source that does what you want (see the Submitting Patches page on the Wiki, or you can submit an enhancement request on the Wireshark Bug Tracker.
Hey Ho,
since Wireshark version 3.4.x it will not help anymore to mark "recent_common" with write-restriction in the windows filesystem. Now the Wireshark will prompt an error message that the named file is not writable :/
Anybody who wants to fix them? I think a good possibility would be a configuration if Wireshark should store old interfaces yes/no.
Thanks and greetz
