when continuous capture,file name is too long

0

I use wireshark in the continuous capture mode, and use multiple files, file name is capture.pcap, the first file name is capture__0000120101226121523.pcap, and then I click 'restart' button, the new file name is capture000012010122612152300001201012261525.pcap , But I need capture00001__20101226121525.pcap, this is my error or wireshark' BUG or wireshark does not support this operation?

I just checked this out and I have the same behavior. When restarting a capture to disk capture the file names get messed up. This is something you should enter as a bug.

This is a known bug, initially reported by Stig Bjørlykke back in 2008. Refer to bug 2274.
