Run dumpcap from wireshark GUI not reading in packet until capture stopped.

Hi,
We have numerous bugs and questions about wireshark crashing which looks like they are out-of-memory crashes. Would it be feasible to add functionality to run dumpcap from the GUI waiting to read the file in until the capture
stops, possibly updating the status bar while the capture is running?
This would correspond to starting a live capture without updating the packet list in real time I suppose. It would also be what the user probably wants in the case of using ring buffers or multiple files.
Regards
Anders
