Comment # 5 on bug 9816 from

I don't understand why not saving user data would use more space.

Thank you. I missed that. But I suggested about disk (directory) free space
monitoring. In some scenarios it's more useful. Also I meant about default temp
file not about "Capture->Options". It says "Ring buffer requested, but capture
isn't being saved to a permanent file."

It should but I crashed the program 4 time in a row in a way I described. Also
I think manual seeking and removing temp file should be automated somehow.
