Hi, 
I just tried your patch and I see the need for this functionality. Situation is a bit similar as with the route color patch though (I hope you don't hate me for that):
On one hand there is a minor buglet:
* If there is no route calculated the save button should be grayed out.

On the other hand we always want to keep UI clutter low.

This feature is certainly useful for power users, so it should be available somehow (I tried it and it works great!).
Currently I think it's not in the optimal place: It should appear right next to the Search button (also because translations of Search sometimes will become long and will possibly move the buttons out of scope). 

I wonder whether we could move those two buttons below the listview or even put them into a context menu that appears if the user clicks with the right mouse button onto the result listview. This would take into account that this feature is rather a feature for power users. Any suggestions? :-)
