Save Ctrl+S
This menu item saves the current capture. If you have not set a default
capture file name (perhaps with the -w <capfile> option), Ethereal pops
up the Save Capture File As dialog box (which is discussed further in
Section 5.3.1, “The "Save Capture File As" dialog box” ).
Note!
If you have already saved the current capture, this menu
item will be greyed out.
Note!
You cannot save a live capture while it is in progress. You
must stop the capture in order to save.
