It would be super comfortable and handy if the dialog of the capture function would be similar to the import dialog and just adding the required buttons and settings to define start/end etc. Is this a huge effort to implement?
Unfortunately it's not so easy, as the standard import routines aren't suited to interpreting continuous data streams. They mostly work by collecting the entire input and then creating the datasets.
It's possible that it wouldn't be too hard to add a method to the import classes to optionally add streaming support. I'd have to think about that. Obviously it would only work for text-like formats, like CSV.
The only format the current capture dialog supports is the veusz standard format, which is whitespace-separated columns of data. The descriptor is just a list of space-separated names.
