    Alt+Shift+S - save selected dataset as
  
  Work in progress
  * Add 3 plugins for macro recording (needs adaptation in each plugin
    to work effectively).
  * Make the following plugins recordable within a macro
    - BufferPlugIn
    - DisposeSelectedPlugIn
    - RemoveSelectedPlugIn
    - ViewSchemaPlugIn
    - DataSourceFileLayerLoader
  
  Improvements
  * Add lineWidth option to ColorThemingPanel
  * Add "display vertex" in ColorThemingPanel (vertexStyleEnabled attribute)
  * Improve copy/paste style behaviour while copying from/to
    ReferencedImageLayer
  * AttributeTable sorting is now Locale sensitive for String attributes
  * Add an option in SaveToPostGIS driver and WritableDataStoreDataSource
    framework to write normalized lower case column names (see FR #206)
  * Display date/times with a default 24h format, instead of 12h
  * improve the way to guess AttributeType in JoinTableDataSourceCSV
  * DeleteDuplicateGeometries now works also with empty geometries
  * DeleteDuplicateGeometries save deleted features in another layer
  * PostGISWriter : improve error handling
  * Add an option to save to postgis driver to convert NaN Z values to

    geometries now with grayed out icons and pink background
  * attribtab keeps selection order now
  * add union/merge/geomconv to attribute table popup
  * geometry converter converts empty geoms now
  * disable wildcard extensions for image filelayerloaders
