Hi List!

As I'm going towards the end of the first round of the capture engine
redesign, it was relative easy to implement an often requested feature:

Clear running capture (both in the toolbar and "Capture" menu)

In a running capture, it will simply stop the capture, remove the
capture file and restart the capture with the previous options again.

This is helpful, if you run a capture and know that the currently
captured packets are not what you wanted.

It will keep a selected filename, but will delete the current file, but
no other files from a "multiple files" series (e.g. ring buffer files).


Before you would had to: Stop capture, Start capture and press Ok in the
options dialog.

Any comments?

Regards, ULFL
