            Bug ID: 326314
           Summary: Use gpsbabel to open foreign file formats
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: google-code-in, junior-jobs
          Severity: task
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: marble-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: earthwings at gentoo.org

gpsbabel supports a vast variety of file formats which, once converted to .gpx
or .kml, can easily be displayed by Marble. Many people do not know about
gpsbabel though, and using it forces you to use the command line and know
things about file formats which many people are not comfortable to look into.

- detect whether gpsbabel is installed on the system (available in $PATH)
- if yes, extend the File => Open dialog for additional extensions 
- if such a file is selected, use gpsbabel to convert it to a temporary file
and open that with Marble
