Not valid?

Under 3.4.4 insert ->picture -> from file does:

   open SVG and import as objects

Under 3.5.0b2 insert->picture->from file does:

  open SVG and import as an uneditable image

The behavior is completely different.  Either it is a bug or a change in
design.  
If the latter, why that change, and where is it documented? (It isn't in the
release notes, as far as I can tell.)  Every drawing program that I can think
of with a similar "open picture from file" option acts on  SVG, cgm, etc. by
importing them as objects, not as a bitmap.  If the file was imported as
objects it could always then be exported as a bitmap, but the inverse operation
isn't possible.  So the behavior in 3.5.0b2 is a loss of function.  

"File -> open" on SVG files is so unreliable that I gave up using it under
3.4.4. 3.5.0b2 is the same.  It only works on the simplest of drawings, and
when it fails there is never a clue why.  Either nothing comes in, or the
general error results.  Very strange that under 3.4.4 "insert->picture->from
file" will work (perhaps not well, but at least it always did something) when
"file->open" does not.  One would assume they use the same code.
