Bug Description
Assume a track in gpx format.
Read it with viking.
Edit the track, by removing waypoints.
Save the track as gpx file.
Read it again with viking.
Result: no error, no track!
Assume a track in ovl format.
Read it with viking.
Result: no error, no track!
Assume a track in kml format.
Read it with viking.
Edit the track, by removing waypoints.
Save the track as kml file.
Read it again with viking.
Result: no error, no track!
Viking states to read all these formats and it states to write all these formats. As far as I could dig into it, this isn't true: viking only reads kml formats, all others are silently failing to load.
Written is, regardless of given extension, only something between kml and gpx. The gpx data is retained, but additional informations kml provides are removed.

Renaming the savend file to have kml as extension (mv 12_23_32-1.gpx 12_23_32-1.kml) viking will read the file!
