12369	[patch] default extension for saving files read from preferences	kolesar	team	"Sometimes disk is almost full and I'm unable to save a huge dataset to a compressed .osm file. Of course I have to upgrade my disk to a larger one but that will be full again with uncompressed data. XML data compresses well, gzip does not take noticeable CPU time. Therefore I store my edits and traces compressed by gzip.

I have to type .osm.gz or gpx.gz extension into save dialog every time. This patch allows to set default extension at preferences:

{{{
    save.extension.osm
    save.extension.gpx
}}}

Default values are ""osm"" and ""gpx"", default compression can be set by changing them to ""osm.gz"" and ""gpx.gz"".

Note: osm and gpx file filters are different. There are three rows for osm (uncompressed, gzip and bzip2) and a single line for gpx (that has compressed variants). I did not modify this but note that they need unification.

I did not create user interface for these settings because there was no appropriate page for them in the preferences dialog. I have a recent lesson from ticket #12357 to not blow core with functions. These settings are hidden enough."	enhancement	closed	normal	16.02	Core		fixed
