Bug Description

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).
