Wireshark: Disable "Do you want to save..." dialog?

Question

In Wireshark, is there a way to hide this did-you-forget-to-save dialog that appears after clicking "Restart current capture"? I'd like to never save, and not be warned.

Answer 1

Yes, there is an option that controls this.

If you're using the Qt version of Wireshark, you'll find it via Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Confirm unsaved capture files.

If you're using the Gtk version of Wireshark, you'll find it via Edit -> Preferences -> User Interface -> Confirm unsaved capture files.
