This MR is trying to fix this UX issue: ux#138

  • Basically, now we made a inkscape:collect = always as a optional.
  • User can now enable/disable the gradient auto collection thought preference dialog. So, that user can preserve the gradients that are not used in the SVG file for the latter use.
  • This option will only affects the newly created gradients. Gradients that are already collectable, will be not updated. (I'm working on a extension to make all the available gradients non-collectable or vise-versa to solve the problem. or maybe different approach. will see it latter what UX team will think about it.)
