Hi Caolán,

We have svgio which is being used for insert->image->from file and
filter/source/svg which is being used for open file.

Which one is "the future", and what prevents us from using it in both
places ?

I suggest to use svgio in both cases (as Apache OpenOffice does) for following reasons: - It is double work to maintain two import filters. The filter used for File > Open has a lot of bugs, and no one has fixed them. - The file-open filter automatically converts the svg-file, but ODF is not able to describe all features of svg. If the svg-file is only rendered as svg, then it is possible to show it more correctly.
- The svgio filter keeps the svg-file, therefore no data is lost.
- Because converting a svg-file to ODF will loose information, such converting should not be done automatically, but only on explicit user request.

Kind regards
Regina
