How to set default Time Display Format ?

0

The "Time Display Format" is always set to "Seconds since beginning of capture".

Even after I change it to something else, e.g. "Time of Day".

When launching the WS next time, it seems to default back to "Seconds since beginning of capture" again.

How do I set to use a default time format, which will show next time WS is launched, until changed again ?

Thanks & Regards!

Which version of Wireshark are you using? 2.0.x, 2.2.x, or a development version?

On what version of what operating system are you running Wireshark? I cannot reproduce the

behavior on macOS Sierra - if I change the time format from the View menu, close Wireshark, and relaunch it, the new time format is used.

Same thing for me with v2.2.3 on Windows 7. Wireshark retains the change and uses the new time format on relaunch.
