I'm not sure this is quite what is desired. In an earlier e-mail exchange
w/Sake, he indicated the following (which Guy agreed with), which is why I
reverted my earlier commit in r37833:
Here's the quote from Sake:
=====[BEGIN QUOTE]=====
I would vote against defaulting to saving only displayed frames when "File ->
Save" is used. My reasoning... (from practical use of wireshark)... I captured
packets, started to do some analysis involving filtering, then when I find the
file interesting indeed, I would want to save the whole file.
I don't want to be unpleasantly surprised by not having all packets in my
capture file. "File -> Save" is only active on non-saved files, so it would
make sense to always save every packet as it has not been saved before. For
"File -> Save As" I do agree that it would be logical to save only the
displayed frames, as you expect to save the transformed file (it is no use
saving the file in the same form again).
That is how I interpreted the request at Sharkfest :-)
I attached the change I have in mind for non-windows systems, so you see what I
plan to implement...
Cheers,
Sake
