If you start a capture, and then go quit, the save capture file dialog box 
comes up even if you have not managed to capture any packets.

This seems wrong. We should check the number of packets.
       

Did you checked the latest CVS?
     

OK, I am not sure I was working with the latest CVS. I will check.
   

Well, now I am sure. The latest CVS still has this problem.  
 

I had made a change: if no packets could be captured, the capture file 
is immediately closed again.

So the situation you describe should never happen!

What did you *exactly* and what dialog comes up?
     

OK, I did:

1. Start Ethereal on FreeBSD and click Capture-->Start

2. Ethered a capture filter that ensures no packets are captured

3. Clicked OK.

4. Waited a few seconds and then clicked Stop on the progress window.
 

At this point, a dialog box should come up: "No packets captured", and 
close the capture immediately again.
So as no file is open after this point, you should have no problem 
quitting the program.

5. Click File-->Quit

6. Up comes the Warning dialog box with Save Capture file before quit 
message.

 

Well, again my fault!

This was depending, if the "Update list of packets in real time" was 
used or not.

As this will use a different sourcepath when pressing the "Stop" button, 
it just wasn't implemented when this option wasn't used.

I've checked in a bugfix for this.

Please send a short response, if this fixed it on your side too.
