Hi all,

That's so far the strongest case for removal here. ;)

Other than that, the two filters serve two very different purposes -
the document filter actually tries to map svg as well as possible to
ODF (it would work even better if LibreOffice's ODF filter would
support more of the syntax and semantics of SVG), to get *editable*
graphics.

As such, replacing the document importer with something that sticks
the image into a graphic object is missing the point IMO.

I think, that one filter is enough and that LO should use svgio. In case of File>Open and if you really want to make the graphic immediately editable, then LO should insert the SVG in a new document as done by Insert>Image and then break it automatically.

All effort and free time should be used to improve svgio and to implement the missing ODF parts. For example the lack of the ODF elements <svg:linearGradient> and <svg:radialGradient> is really bad. It does not only effect SVG import but the OOXML filter too.

Kind regards
Regina
