If I understand well this is a problem on how the word "filter" is interpreted.

Being it in the open file dialog someone will naturally interpret it as file
filter like in "*.cap"

But being in wireshark the "filter" term is interpreted as a wireshark display
filter.

I think the solution is to rename the field of the open dialog into "display
filter"


IMHO if the issue is about memory we should be using libpcap filters instead of
wireshark ones.
