| Hi List!
|
| I've checked in the seperation of exporting and printing
functionality.
|
| There are some new menu items under the File->Export menu.
|
| -as "Plain Text" file
| -as "PostScript" file
| -as "PSML" file
| -as "PDML" file
|
| All these menu items will show the corresponding file format dialog.
|
| These dialogs only contains the corresponding required widgets, e.g.
the
| PDML exporting dialog won't show the "Packet Format" frame, as the
| formatting of the frames are given by the file format itself.
|
| Any comments on the changes?

Great!

Maybe we need to provide either a tooltip or some more words in the
menu to explain the different file formats, as I guess that many
novice users will not know about the PSML and PDML file formats.

Maybe we can wite something like:
 as XML - PSML (packet summary)
 as XML - PDML (packet details)

I would also get rid of the text label below the file selection dialog
widget on the popped-up dialog as it does not add extra data not yet
contained in the title of the dialog.

Regards,

Olivier
