would it make sense to add version sections to the preferences file?
Parsing the
preference file would a bit more work, but one could separate the
modified preferences
in a proper way from each other.
Extra benefit: One could use the same preference file with different
(older) versions of
Wireshark, without any problem (if such a feature get's backported).
Something like this:
<version: 1.6.0>
...
</version: 1.6.0>
<version: 1.8.0>
...
</version: 1.8.0>

Hi.
After upgrading my local wireshark to latest trunk I get some warnings
from my preferences.
I suspect someone rewrote the preference format without handling /
converting old values?
The user should not loose the preferences when upgrading, just because
we changed the format.
