Public bug reported:

Bluefish 2.2.2-1 under Ubuntu 12.04:
The bluefish screen displays the file browser panel at the left side.
I can load any file into the editor by doubleclicking it or right-clicking and 
choosing 'open'.

Bug:
Neither of these operations work with an SVG file. Instead, an img tag is 
inserted into the file currently edited, as is also done with other graphic 
files.
While this may be helpful behavior for non-textual graphic files like GIF, JPG 
etc., it is annoying with SVG files, since 1) the 'open' click is being abused 
and 2) one has to use the file menu in order to load them.

Incidentally, there is another bug here:
While right-clicking a graphic file and choosing 'open' inserts the img tag 
once, double-clicking it inserts the tag twice (while a simple click does 
nothing).

Suggestion for fixing:
- Reserve the double-click and the 'open' option of the context menu to 
actually open the file in Bluefish, for all editable files. And block the 
option for non-editable files (like GIF etc.) (or else send the file to the 
browser).
- For all files in the file browser, enrich the context menu by an option 
'insert link'. For graphic files, this should do the same operation as is 
currently done by the double click. For other files, a href link to the file 
should be inserted (as a quicker alternative to the 'anchor/link' option of the 
standard icon panel, which brings up a form to be filled in).
