Bug Description
Hi,
In Footprint editor, the "File" menu shows now "Import Outlines from DXF or SVG File..." entry, but, in the dialog "Import vector graphics file", when I try to select a SVG file from the file browser, no SVG file is listed. Only DXF files.
The dropdown combo only allows to filter the directory listing either by "All supported formats" or "AutoCAD DXF (*.dxf)".
"All supported formats" reports no SVG (*.svg) file in the current directory.
Thank you!
David

In 5.1, this is an advanced config option. Enable it by creating ~/.config/ kicad/kicad_ advanced with the content "EnableSvgImpor t=1".
Please note, this is not formally supported yet, which is why it must be explicitly enabled in the advanced config.
In the nightlies since 61567d391, this option is on by default.
