Description
I am the creator of the Flat GIMP Icon Theme [1]. I created my icons with Inkscape because SVG's look good no matter how you scale them. I found out that GIMP allows .SVG icons so I went with it. Not too long after I published my theme on DeviantArt some Windows users started having trouble with my them. One of my Windows users renamed all my icons from .SVG to .PNG and changed my imagerc file and got the theme to work.
I do not know if this is a Mac, Windows thing and Linux is awesome(most likely) or what. But it would really nice if GIMP were able to use SVG for its icons across the board. This is especially important when it comes to the Mac as they have the retina display and bitmap icons look terrible on them.
