Has there ever been any discussion about adopting a default file
extension for captures saved in Ethereal?  I typically save my capture files
with the .dmp file extension, but given the current mechanism for
opening capture files, there is no way to filter directories on a file
extension.

Along the same lines, what is the purpose of the "Filter" button on the
"Open Capture File" dialog?  I am confused by the behaviour.

Thanks,

Mike.
