Getting Back Window Title in Wireshark 2

When using newer versions of software you may notice that some of your favorite features may have been moved to a different place.

In some cases, you may find out that some features are no longer supported, which can be frustrating.

In my example, I noticed that the Window Title configuration option was no longer available – or I just can’t find it in version 2.

I use this option to put notes in the Wireshark title bar for when I use screen captures in my reports. Sounds like a trivial issue, but trust me, when you use a feature for a while, you start to rely on it.

The good news is that even though I can’t add a window title from the Preferences Layout screen, I can still add it to my preferences file.

In this video I will show you how to locate and edit your preferences file. While you’re there, feel free to poke around and play with some of the options in the file.
