[Qgis-developer] Minor Irritations

[Alex Mandel]

These may be more opinion than actual issues, just wanted to see what
others thought.

1. When adding a vector layer, you hit browse the default tends to be
shapefile, but when you add a raster the default is "All GDAL formats".
I think All OGR formats would be a much better default, having to scroll
all the time for gml, kml etc is really annoying especially when I'm
working hard to break people of the assumption that vector = shapefile.

2. As pointed out by a colleague: Many people new to GIS have no idea
the KML = Keyhole Markup Language, so it's not clear on the Save as..
option that is actually KML. The same might be said for GML. Either
changing the names in the list or putting (Hint) would seem useful to users.

3. In 1.6 builds (Could be my build from last week) the Select tool does
not appear to work the same way(Ctrl fails to add or remove from the
selection), and th icon has a new drop down indicator that doesn't seem
to work. 2ndary note, I'm all for making clearer icons for tools but it
seems excessive to change what they look like every version especially
if we're not actually testing new v. old on human test subjects to verify.

Thanks,
Alex
