Or what if there were two "paint" buttons on the add menu, one for creating a new vector costume and one for creating a new bitmap costume?

The previously used or most relevant format could also be remembered for the next costume you paint. For example, if the last costume you were editing was a bitmap costume or if the majority of the costumes were in bitmap, the new costume would be bitmap by default. Seems potentially a little complicated, though.

Integrating that to work with paint-by-default would be a bit painful.
I don't think anyone asked for 2 buttons, I would just make this a new addon that can be toggled by the user as they wish.

might work on this

agree with this, because I think the main reason to use this addon is for like if you use Scratch for making animations and you are making alot of frames and want to save time, or art for a game and you only want bitmap art. So you're not really going to be switching between bitmap and vector.

I also think something this small could be made as an option on paint-by-default, and that addon renamed, to something like "customize action menu".

As for how to actually implement this, you need to wait for the costume to be created and a callback called. (if there isn't a callback currently one would need to be added). Then you can just call the "convert to bitmap" function as normal on that costume.
