Hi guys , I want to compare 2 capture files for example :

I found this url https://www.wireshark.org/docs/wsug_html_chunked/ChStatCompareCaptureFiles.html

You'll have to use the legacy (GTK+) version for that, assuming you're not running on OSX. If you are using OSX, then that isn't implemented yet in the Qt version, which is the only (current) version available for your OS.

The state of menu items and features for the Qt version can be seen here.

Ok, first you'll have to run the legacy version, you should find it in your start menu as "Wireshark Legacy", then under the Statistics menu it's listed as "Compare...".
