I'm assuming that these settings are global since there doesn't appear to be a way to tell VS to apply tab and indentation settings on a per-file or per-project basis. I'm also assuming that telling everyone to change their global preferences is a little presumptuous. If these aren't valid then I don't have a problem mandating a particular indentation style. For everyone on -dev that uses the VS editor, is switching over to 4 spaces for indentation a big deal? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <[email protected]> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:[email protected]?subject=unsubscribe
