class CaptureFileDialog : public QFileDialog
{
// The GTK+ Open Capture File dialog has the following elements and features:
// - The ability to select a capture file from a list of known extensions
// - A display filter entry
// - Name resolution checkboxes
// - Capture file preview information
// Ideally we should provide similar functionality here.
//
// You can subclass QFileDialog (which we've done here) and add widgets as
// described at
// http://developer.qt.nokia.com/faq/answer/how_can_i_add_widgets_to_my_qfiledialog_instance
// However, Qt's idea of what a file dialog looks like isn't what Microsoft
// and Apple think a file dialog looks like.
//
// On Windows Vista and later we should probably use IFileOpenDialog. On earlier
// versions of Windows (including XP) we should use GetOpenFileName, which is
// what we do in ui/win32/file_dlg_win32.c. On OS X we should use NSOpenPanel. On
// other platforms we should fall back to QFileDialog.
//
// Yes, that's four implementations of the same window.
//
// If a plain native open file dialog is good enough we can just the static
// version of QFileDialog::getOpenFileName. (Commenting out Q_OBJECT below
// has the same effect.)
