How to open two PCAP Files in Wireshark

0

Is it possible to open and to view two (or more) different PCAP files in Wireshark? In other words, is a "multi document interface" possible in Wireshark?

If you use File -> Open, Wireshark will replace the currently viewed pcap file with the new one.

If you want to view two pcap files at once, you must open two instances of Wireshark (double click on the pcap files, or just start two instances manually).
