How to capture traffic without constant nag of saving capture file?

0

Hi, on Wireshark 2.2.1 I constantly monitor traffic to debug some network problems and I NEVER need to save a capture file. Is it possible to set to not ask for save capture file confirmation when "Start capturing packets" or "Restart current capture" buttons are pressed? Thanks

Go to Edit > Preferences. Uncheck "Confirm unsaved capture files."
