What's the easiest way for me to import an already existing SVG file into a Pixelmator Pro file that I have open?

Insert > Choose... did nothing.

I ended up dragging it onto the Pixelmator Pro icon to create a new file then copy/pasting across to where I wanted it.

Ah, that's actually an issue with multilayered file formats in general — right now, drag and drop/Insert > Choose doesn't work for PXD, PXM, PSD, or SVG files although, theoretically, it probably should and for each format, things work a little differently — PXMs and PXDs can't be selected, PSDs get imported as flat images, and with SVGs, nothing happens. So this definitely needs to be addressed one way or another. For now, yours is probably the easiest (and only) way. :pray:
