The user could specify a list of fields to be exported in CSV or "ascii matrix". For example, there could be a textbox where the user writes "frame.len, ip.src, tcp.port" to have a 3 column matrix with these fields.

What if there's more than one instance of one of those fields (e.g., some form of tunneling with two IP layers)? Should it always pick the first one or the last one, or have an option to control which one to pick? (Some fields can have more than one instance in a *single* packet; that one's harder to handle.)
