Hey devs,
I'm going to be making two changes to the UI for symbols.
1. Firstly, we move the Symbol to Group and Group to Symbol out of the Object menu where it's out-of-context and into the symbols UI itself. This means the 'Current Document' symbols will be visible when you add and remove symbols. (I'll also be fixing it so the Symbol to Group works on the symbol selection and not just a use element)
2. The second piece is to move the two preferences out of the symbols UI and into the Inkscape preferences. Edit > Preferences > Interface > Symbols. I'm interested in ideas where best to place these in the existing tree.

Please do let me know if you see any problems with the plan.
Best Regards, Martin Owens
