Description
Paint will open an SVG file and write it out as PNG. This is appropriate behavior except it should create a new datastore/Journal object rather than overwriting the original SVG file.

|TestCase| Download a svg image with Browse. Then open it with Paint, draw anything over it and close Paint. In the Journal you must have two images the original svg and the modified png.

See 1772 re getting SVG files to open on Browse. Until this bug is fixed and if that patch is applied, it would be better to have Browse be the default activity for opening SVG files since it would do so without modifying them irreversibly. (Note that this bug is marked Critical because data is lost).
This would involve adding the line:
image/svg+xml org.laptop.WebActivity
to mime.defaults in /usr/share/sugar/data (sugar/data/mime.defaults)
