I t always took me sometime when pointing someone to Preferences to go to "->FIles->Preferences" and not "->File..."

Well, unfortunately this seems to lead back to the "Why the heck do I have to open an image to access $feature?" times... and I thought these were finally gone.

It is still available from the Toolbox, don't worry.

No, just more sophisticated. You still have to create a path in order to import an svg as a path.

One other possible rearangement would be drop the "dialogs" and "prefences" entries into "Xtns" and rename that to "Extras" once for all.

Extras: If you can't find it in any other menu, it's probably here!

Yes, it is. But will it be in a few months...?

No, you don't have and you never had to. There's a Paths menu that allows you to import an SVG even if no other path exists yet.

Will there still be a menu in the toolbox in a few months? Who knows...

I used to have a co-worker that would often say that if a user can't find a feature, it doesn't exist. Even after rummaging through the code with grep for a few minutes, the only menu I can find that allows you to import an SVG is the one that you right-click an existing item in the Paths dialog to get. I'd have to say that since even a casual but directed search through the source code can't find the menu that you're talking about, the discoverablity of the feature is impressively bad.

All dockable have a menu which can be opened by clicking on the little arrow icon in the upper right corner. The first submenu is always the one the same menu that is also accessible via right-click on an item.

If you can make the empty list show this menu on right-click, please send a patch.
