BaseObject now stores the path of an object from which it was loaded
added an option to the save settings input dialog for objects with no given extensions, such that a chosen extension can be applied to all object without preset types
Load/Save
Added a QInputDialog so that the user can choose a file extension for newly created meshes when saving the settings.
Bugfix: Delete all is equivalent to clear all, so emit the clear all signal as well

Added optional 4th argument to run_single_object_file_mesh_test, which gives a directory with meshes for testing. If given, TEST_FILE argument is ignored.
Increased the testing timeouts a bit (Due to heavy load on the build servers tests got marked as failed but the timeouts where caused by heavy load)
Switched color type in meshes from Vec3uc to Vec4f to support alpha per primitive
Plugins
Backup
Small fix for signal flow through backup plugin
DataControl
Made DataControl scriptable

Display edge length closes #283
Enable headless mode for meshinfo plugin
MeshObjectSelections
Added functions to convert edge selections to features.
Added conversion functions for all types of features (vertices, edges and faces)
Store edge selections as vertex pairs since edge ids are not stable (differ depending on the file reader).
Also store vertex pairs for halfedge selections instead of direct ids since they're not stable either.
Readded missing function to create a new mesh from a selection.

Don't add root joint twice when creating new skeletons
Basic inverse kinematics implementation
When a joint is translated via the Plugin, its parent joint and itself are rotated now, such that their coordinate systems stay constant w.r.t the bone axis.

Fixed bug with point only meshes, where face and edge buffers were accessed but not there.
When updating colors, invalidate face and edge buffers too ( otherwise no update is done)
Be more carefull and check if mesh properties used for redering vanished between render passes (e.g. textures after restore from backups) -QtTranslationManipulatorNode
Added possibility to add QVariants to the node
SceneGraphWidget
Added system to register a widget for new nodes without changing the widget code.
Splitted File Plugins ( Now there are type plugins loaded first to register types and the file plugins to load data)

Changed handling of ObjectSelectionChanged
Updated internal types handling (directly initialized by core now)
Handle object tree integration for BaseObjects automatically (No longer necessary to call the setParent Function)
selectionChanged, visibilityChanged and objectPropertiesChanged are now handled internally. If One of these changes, the signals will be emitted by the core and passed to the plugins.
Basic implementation to copy per Object data along with copied object
Implemented drag and drop for files to OpenFlipper
Fixes for building with QT 4.6
Added a map to find objects in the objectTree (large speedup when handling multiple objects)
Internal counters for targets, sources and objects avoiding iterations across all objects ( another speedup)

Changed PluginFunctions to return 0 object for identifier -1
Provide a QSettings interface to store per Plugin settings (called OpenFlipperSettings in globaloptions)
Core manages objectSelectionChanged, visibilityChanged and objectPropertiesChanged. (Do not emit these signals in your plugin anymore)
Added TypeInterface to register types from plugins (These plugins will be loaded first!)
Improvements to status bar interface (now accepts arbitrary widgets)
Renamed type idList to IdList
Process manager added
