SVG is LiveCode 8 widgets only. AFAIK, in 8 the current "built in" vector

comfortable copying points from SVG files into LiveCode, I think you'd agree that's not
exactly the best user experience. :-)

Copying points . . . cripes: where does one get at a vector image's
points outwith LiveCode to copy them.
And, on Linux at least, as copying stuff both to-and-from LiveCode is at
least a two-step procedure
[How I copy code from the scriptEditor into my email client and/or
Firefox: copy text, paste into a text editor,
copy from the text editor, paste into Thunderbird/Firefox]
this is unbelievably labour intensive and, frankly, primitive.

"Just for fun" I downloaded this:

opened it in Inkscape, and . . . wondered what to do then.
Gosh, I haven't had as much fun as when I tried to buy a carpet from an
Afghani in the souk in Jeddah with no Pashto, Farsi or Arabic.

Quite honestly I feel that until one can import vector images just the
same as one imports
JPG and PNG images via the menu system things are not acceptable
vis-a-vis vector images.
It would also be nice, although that may be expecting too much, if the
"export snapshot"
could export snapshots from vector objects as vector images.
