I'm not sure if the new project dialog is the right place. It might be
good if it is possible to change DAO<-->TAO after a project is created.
Settings that only apply to DAO are lost when converting to TAO of
course.

I would recommend to use project type names in the new file format. So
it doesn't hurt when we have to change the order. Same applies to track
modes. Whenever we have to same an enum - we should save names
