That's for saving capture files in a full-blown capture file format, not for exporting either raw packet data without metadata or dissected packets.

To add a new File->Export format, add a new item to the Export menu in the ui_desc_menubar description and the main_menu_bar_entries array, with a callback; see how other callbacks for "Export" are done for examples.
