In the GTK+ ("legacy") version of Wireshark 2.0 and later, as in Wireshark 1.12, on all operating systems (Linux, OS X, Windows, *BSD, Solaris, AIX, HP-UX, etc.), you can change various per-interface settings, including the size to which captured packets are truncated before saving them, by double-clicking on the interface in the splash screen or the Capture -> Options dialog and editing the "Limit each packet to" field.

In the Qt version of Wireshark 2.0 and later, on all operating systems, you can change various per-interface settings, including the size to which captured packets are truncated before saving them, by selecting Capture -> Options, clicking on the "Snaplen (B)" column for the interface, and editing the value.
