Re: My LUA menu items turn up in the wrong place

[Tony Trinh <tony19 () gmail com>]

The Analysis menu is the default destination when the passed-in menu index
is nil (i.e., MENU_TOOLS_UNSORTED, in your case, evaluates to nil). The
menu IDs (along with other useful variables) are defined in init.lua, so
it's likely that init.lua wasn't loaded (because Wireshark couldn't find it
in the expected location). This is typical when running Wireshark from a
build directory. See similar
problem<http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/10681/missing-basehex-definition-in-lua>
.

To resolve this, copy init.lua and console.lua from your build directory to
your home directory:

   - $HOME/.wireshark/        (*nix)
   - %APPDATA%/Wireshark/  (Windows)

and restart Wireshark.
