Hi Ben,

have you tried updating the Preferences (Appearance > Window Title or
Prepend window title) with the %C flag ? This should work when calling
wireshark from the command line, and a --capture-comment option)

For example: wireshark --capture-comment window1 ;  wireshark
--capture-comment window2 ..

Please have a look at the User Guide for more options or come back
here if it isn't clear enough (

)

Hello,

I'm looking into running wireshark so that it reads from ssh pipe.
This appears to work fine, but in this case, the wireshark doesn't know
the port names (or even remote host), so if I launch a few of these, I
lose track of what is what.

I was looking for a cmd line option that would let me add something to the
wireshark titlebar, but didn't see anything.  Is there some way to do this
now?  Or, would this be a welcome upstream feature if we code it up?

Thanks,
Ben
