Re: Idea for synchonous logging/review of debug + GSMTAP

They are actually very useful, e.g. for automatically displaying uplink messages with a different color compared to downlink messages. If you're not familiar with that feature yet, I recommend to try it. I don't yet know if a dissector plugin could overload the colors. It might be possible. But even if it is, I think it should be a preference of the gsmtap-log dissector, as e.g. yellow on white background doens't look nearly as well as the yellow-on-black we use on the terminal/console output... I was actually thinking of representing the category, filename and line number as separate "fields" in wireshark. This way, you can (or can not) add them as separate columns to your list of packtes in wireshark. I've hacked up most of the required libosmocore code, although the separation of filename/line-number needs some modifications to the current logging architecture (where the string-printing is done in the core and the plugins only get the final result as opposed to the input).
