As described in #1423, we've recognized that a user might find it useful to specify a specific directory to hold extracted pcap slices, e.g., if they're gathering them up as part of an investigation. The changes in #3049 made me realize how easy it would be to add this as a Setting, so that's what I've done here.
The attached video shows the feature working as intended using the branch from this PR at commit 651e403. As a baseline I show the default app behavior of extracting to
$TMPDIR. Then I apply the new setting and show the pcap going to the selected directory. Then I clear out the setting and show the pcaps going back to$TMPDIRagain.Demo.mp4
Closes #1423
