Wireshark 2.0.0 GeoIP paths point to the file instead of the directory

0

The settings in Wireshark want you to locate the exact files for GeoIP name resolution, instead of the path. I couldn't figure out why the GeoIP paths weren't working on my Windows server. I edited the geoip_db_paths file manually to point to the directory instead of the exact path to the file, then things worked fine.

So yeah, maybe this is just an issue specific to the Windows distro.

Was your intention to extend the Q&A with this topic (so it is a self-answered question) or did you actually want to file a bug?

Ah, sorry. A bug report would be fine.

If you feel like filing the bug yourself, do it here, otherwise let me know and I'll do that. When I had a look at what you were actually talking about I've realized that I've come across the same issue (the file selector not allowing you to choose a directory) when trying to set something else.

Alright, posted it myself. Thanks.
