Hi all,
while there are also the IF_NEEDED and IF_SAFER values for the BIGTIFF 
creation option, another possibility would be to have an option to let 
GDAL to retry to create the raster file as a BIGTIFF if the the normal 
TIFF creation fails or to let QGIS to inform the user if the normal TIFF 
creation fails and then offer the possibility to retry using the 
BIGTIFF=YES option.

Regards.
