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.)
