In my usagem I never ever save a capture file, and I'm bothered

The following patch adds a gui preferences item called
"Save Capture dialogs", whose "Nag" value may be
either "Safe" or "Silent". The default behaviour is
"safe".
I don't want to have something like the term nag in the sources. It
might nag you, but I'm using this feature to save my files.
I tend to agree with David. If the term bothers you, let's try to find
another one. "Enable annoying save dialog" is too long and probably not
appropriate :-). How about "SaveWarn"?
Having "Save" or "Silent" isn't a good idea either. It's unsure what's
meant be "Silent". Will it safe the file or not in this situation?
How about if "SaveWarn" is set and eq "no", then there is no warning and
no saving, otherwise the behavior is as it is now.
When set to "Silent", the questioning boxes never appear,
and you can X out the window and it goes away; similarly
you can start a new capture without a "save" nag.
I hope this is of use to someone.
It would be to me.
Hmmm, I'm not sure if this should be a preference setting, as this would
be a very unusal behaviour.
I would use it...
The specific dialog box should have a checkbox "Don't ask again" (or
something like this), and should save this setting in the recent file,
but not in the preferences.
Then how does one turn it back on if one is working with a (rare for that
user) situation where one wants to save files.
