I open a pcap file, add some comments, click on save and as expected I get a
warning that pcap files do not support this feature. 
I get presented with the option to save as another format. After putting down a
filename with the format of .pcapng i get the message "the format you chose
does not support comments"

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open .pcap file
2. Add comments
3. Press save
4. In the prompt choose "save in another format"
5. Type in a filename and make sure .pcapng is selected as format, press save
6. Popup appears with another warning.

In my opinion, this second warning should not occur. It should save the file as
a pcapng with the comments.
