That's what the "Print" dialog box has. I think that the "Print" and
"Save" dialog boxes should have the same options for selecting which
packets to {print,save}.

Or
+-Save Range-------------------------------------------------------------+

| O Selected packets only, {N} packets |

along the lines of what we have in the Print dialog box.
Should we have another one for "Marked displayed packets"?

Yes.

Yes (that's already the case for "All packets displayed" in the Print
dialog box).
"Selected packets only" is unselectable if there is no selected packet.
The rule is that if {N} is 0 for any item, the item is not selectable.

I assume that's for user-specified packet ranges?
Ulf, what did you have in mind for the range?
