[Qgis-developer] New Save as... dialog

Hi!

No problem with harsh .. I did not even understand it in that way :)

The more options are usually not needed - it should only be necessary
to open it if you know what you are doing.

I agree with the change in the CRS selector ..

>> * I see no point in having an empty collapsible box (Datasource Options,
>> Layer Options for Shapefiles)

If GDAL is extended with new options not available in the
preselectable options (or you have your own newer version of GDAL
installed) there is always the possibility to enter these new options
manual in these boxes (sometimes the commands can be quite long -
hence the space to overlook the full command). If you know a way of
hiding these boxes (again - more options should not be necessary to be
opened) it would be nice to make them smaller .. I did find no way.

which will mean that we loose functionality

Thats a thing I will take care of ..

Would be nice .. If I find out how I will add it ..
