Wireshark supports pipes natively now as of 2.3
https://devzone.nordicsemi.com/question/79845/nrf-sniffer-support-for-wireshark-v203/

For the "simple user" with NRFsniffer1.0.1 here is a basic help on how to use wireshark 2.3.0 or more (note it will be simplified if Nordic does an update of it's nRFsniffer):

open the sniffer
open wireshark
go to capture->options->manage interfaces...->pipes
add \.\pipe\wireshark_nordic_ble in the field
press OK and start the capture on this interface (for me I have to press several times for it to work)
For the first time only you open Wireshark:

go to edit->preferences->protocols->DLT_USER
edit the encapsulation table and add "user10 (DLT=157)" with "nordic_ble" in payload protocol field.

@cdealti implemented pipes in his fork https://github.com/cdealti/Adafruit_BLESniffer_Python/ but overwrote the logging so I figured you wouldn't take it as a PR. I kept his cleaner reporting (which I can remove if its a dealbreaker) and brought in his pipe work as an argument. I could see disabling file logging if you enable pipe, but I left it for now.

Looks like this now with verbosity off
