 1. GPS Tools (GPS Importer) - use stored path to GPX file to initialize
 the file dialog (and save on successful operation) in the following
 tools/file browsing:

 Import other file - "GPX output" field

 Download from GPS - "Output file" field

 GPX conversions - "GPX output file" field

 as is done for Load GPX file (File) and GPX conversions (GPX input file)

 Also do this for Create new GPX layer.

 I reason that most users will probably be storing GPX files in the same
 general location, perhaps one directory up/down from there, plus it is
 very annoying to have to navigate from current working directory every
 time the file browse dialog is used.

 2. use a different stored path to initialize the file dialog (and save on
 successful operation) in the Import other file - "File to import" field

 Same reasons as in item 1, except that this is a different type of file
 that may be stored in a different location.

 3. store the type of file and initialize the file dialog from this for
 "File to import" in the Import other file tool.

 Reason is that a user is likely to be importing a number of files of the
 same type, so it is annoying to have to set the type each time.
