+1.
I was about to suggest this kind of automatic adaption to user 
preferences, when I read your mail :-)

I'd say, the default should be *.pcb + *.fp . These are by far the most 
likely files you'd want to load.

By the way: The "save_buffer_to_file" dialog currently suggests to save 
to the the layout name. This is almost never a sensible choice for me. 
If I do footprints, I'd like to save them as *.fp . And if I want to 
save parts of the layout, I don't want to overwrite the current pcb 
file.
If there is just one footprint in the buffer, the dialog should suggest 
its name as the name to save to. This would fit perfectly for footprint 
generation.
