I didn't realize this.

Unless we use some multi-radio-button (I don't remember the correct
name for it) where at least one of the buttons must be checked. The

when using multiple files, at least one "next file" condition must be

This is

I personally like it, it's not really a concern, but more a question:
is the code implemented in such a way that in the given example
capturing stops when switching for the 4th time to another capture
file?
