Hi,
If you start a capture, and then go quit, the save capture file dialog box comes up even if you have not managed to capture any packets. 

This seems wrong. We should check the number of packets.

Did you checked the latest CVS?
I had made a change: if no packets could be captured, the capture file is immediately closed again. 

So the situation you describe should never happen!

What did you *exactly* and what dialog comes up?
