The File -> Export menu is currently greyed out (disabled) when there is 
no capture file open (which also means it is disabled when running a 
live capture).  The export objects feature can run while a capture is 
going and will update the window in real-time.  Is there any harm in 
stopping the disablement and exposing the other features in the Export 
menu long as we have a capture file open -or- are running a capture?
