[Inkscape-devel] Change in behaviour: Import image auto-groups the image

In trunk, all images dragged into the canvas are automatically put in a group. Is there a reason for this change?

It's been a bit of a pain over the last few weeks, because:

1. It requires ungrouping the image, or clicking into the image group to view image properties 2. It requires the same to trace bitmap.

Any ideas as to why this change was made?

Thanks. :)
