#178 Default page size as preference

Nice to have:
In the create new database and recreate database dialogs, the value of the Page Size combobox is set to 4096.
Many of my indexes don't work with that page size, so my request: please make the page size shown an option in preferences. This way I can set that to 16384 and more quickly recreate empty databases when testing programs, load scripts, etc.

If a preference can't be realized, could you please update the recreate database dialog to take the pagesize of the existing database as default? That would make more sense and be consistent with the behavior of e.g. the Charset setting. Thanks.

The page size and SQL dialect choices are only in the "Create New Database" dialog because they only make sense when creating a new database (it doesn't matter whether a database is re-created or not, at the time when the dialog is shown the database doesn't exist).

Therefore it's impossible to use the values of the database that is about to be recreated. What could be done is to remember the last settings from that dialog and use these as defaults the next time, instead of the currently hard-coded values 4096 (page size) and 3 (dialect). These would be saved to the settings file but not surfaced in the preferences dialog.

Would that help you?

I understand. Your suggestion to remember the settings one chooses for further use would be perfect, thanks.

OK, committed as SVN revision 2091. I'll post a new snapshot ASAP for you to test.

Thanks for the nudge, IMO this improves usability.
