Revision history [back]

Currently it is hard coded in follow_stream_dialog.cpp to start in ASCII view.

FollowStreamDialog::FollowStreamDialog(QWidget &parent, CaptureFile &cf, follow_type_t type) :
    WiresharkDialog(parent, cf),
    ui(new Ui::FollowStreamDialog),
    b_find_(NULL),
    follow_type_(type),
    follower_(NULL),
    show_type_(SHOW_ASCII),   <-********
    truncated_(false),

If extracting with tshark doesn't work out, you could open an enhancement request to configure
the Show data as value as a Wireshark preference and/or recent.
