Hi List!

Currently, the "Export Selected Packet Bytes" uses a custom dialog to show some small text, a text entry for the filename and a browse button (to show a file selection if clicked).

This requires two steps to get a file selector, without any reasons I see requiring this.

Is there a reason, not directly showing a file selector for this (removing the custom dialog completely)?

Are there any plans to extend this dialog e.g. with some more widgets, so a file selector would become too large?

Regards, ULFL
