The problem is the HVIF uses concepts that don't appear in other formats like
SVG in order to reduce the size - reusing paths and shapes for example. That is
also why Icon-O-Matic is not a simple vector drawing application.
One could automatically translate SVG to HVIF I suppose, with one new path for
everything drawn, but really Haiku icons should be tweaked for HVIF, and that's
why having the import into Icon-O-Matic, tweak to best use the reuse features
of HVIF, and then save out as HVIF, is the best approach IMHO.
