severity 581965 wishlist thanks Hi,
The files are the same in a sense that their filenames (and inodes) are identical. Wireshark can't save the packets to the file it opened, because it does not store the whole file content in memory, thus it have to read from the opened file while saving. The problem could be solved by making a temporary copy.
