[Qgis-user] save layer as with OGR2OGR options

[Bo Victor Thomsen]

AFAIK the "data" and "layer" option box in the "Save As" dialog only 
handles -dcso and -lco options for ogr. So the -sql .... won't work.

One option is to create "virtual fields" in QGIS with the correct field 
names "name", "cmt" ... and give these virtual fields the relevant content.
However the export to gpx will fail if you specify 
-gpx_use_extensions=*no*, because the original field names doesn't fit 
the schema definition for GPX. This will cause an error message and the 
data won't be created

To sum it up:

 1. Use virtual fields in QGIS to create fields and values that's
    acceptable for GPX
 2. use_gpx_extension has to be set to "yes"
 3. Remember to save your GPX data in the EPSG:4326 projection (ll/wgs84)
