Speaking of "File:Reload", given that it doesn't clear the display
filter (and it'd be overkill to make it do so - clearing the display
filter with, say, the Reset button does a good-enough job of, umm,
clearing the display filter; re-reading the file simply isn't necessary
in order to just clear the filter), and that it's no longer needed in
order to follow a live capture in the display, is there any reason to
keep it around?
