During investigation of real huge captured files, I missed the functionality to be able to save a marked block of packets. So far individual packets can be saved by marking them with Ctrl-M. I wrote some code in three files : file.c, gtk/main.c  and gtk/file_dlg.c  to add a check button in the 'Save As' window. With the help of this feature you will get an extra check button saying 'Save between first and last marked packet'.  If there are no markers at all, this check button cannot be chosen like the 'Save only marked packets'. I struggled a bit with the decision to make these two a radio type of button. However, you need to be able to do not choose any of the radio buttons at all. Though having markers, you may want to choose neither 'Save only marked...' nor 'Save between first and last ...'. Anyway, lets give it a try for anyone who want to test this feature. Checking this new button, all packets will be saved between the first and the last marked packet. The marked packets are taken in the save as well. This feature does not take care on the filter settings.

I developed this on the version of  :  Ethereal 0.10.0

I am not sure to whom I should send / submit this compressed tar file of about 55k containing the 3 mentioned files.
