Reason for changes

Saves a click for people who often use bitmap

Tests

Tested in Edge.

I think this might also trigger when importing an empty vector? Though that's an extremely minor bug and something no one will ever do unless they're intentionally triggering the bug.

I'm not sure why, but when uploading the empty SVG yourself, the hash is 4b7a854341abd530a6780bfb6a68627c.svg, which doesn't trigger the replacing.

Even if it did, it's not a big deal. This looks like the simplest way to implement the addon.

@mybearworld Thanks for the PR, I'll quickly review it. Prioritizing a bit, as this was directly requested through user feedback multiple times, and it's a quite simple implementation.

Should we extend this so that it also defaults to bitmap when creating a new sprite/backdrop with the "paint" button?

That would make sense.

When trapping vm.addSprite to make it add the bitmap instead of the vector, the bitmap gets zoomed in for some reason:

Maybe we should wait until the user goes to the Costumes tab, and just emulate a button click on the "convert to bitmap" button 🤔 (once for sprite, only if the sprite was created within this session)

That's not an instant conversion, though. It's noticable.

Hmm, good point.
