Was the Save SVG block removed? #477

I had a coding lesson in an earlier version of Turtle Blocks that saved the path as an SVG file. Has this feature been removed?

Are you in Advanced Mode?

Or do you want that block in your code?

I'm using the web-based version hosted on https://turtle.sugarlabs.org/. I looked in both the advanced and basic views (refreshing the browser when switching) and neither seemed to have the Save SVG block any more.

The block itself is not there, but the save as SVG menu item is there. Do you have a use case where you need the block?

The lesson I'm trying to teach my students uses block coding. In the past, they would find the block and drag it into place. If the feature is still there, how is it accessed?

It will take me a bit to restore that block. (It was deprecated when we rebased the code from Music Blocks.) Meanwhile, can they use the save SVG from the menu (after the blocks program runs as opposed to part of their blocks program)?

I'm not sure what "from the menu" means. I don't see a menu option for selecting commands, other than then left-hand collection of blocks (Search, Flow, Action, Boxes, etc.)
Again, I am using the web version at: https://turtle.sugarlabs.org/. Are we talking about the same instance of Turtle?

A-HA! Yes. I see that now. Thank you. I thought that option only saved the project, so I had not clicked it.
Yes. Thank you. That will allow my students to save their turtle paths as SVGs. I'll make a change in my lesson instructions, but that will do what I need. Thank you.

OK. I will think about reintroducing the block, but can be useful if you are generating multiple SVGs within a project.

It seems like the interface has changed again and the Save as SVG feature was removed. It's no longer under the Save as HTML menu. Any idea why this feature was removed?

Are you in "advanced mode"?

That was it. I was in Beginner Mode, not Advanced Mode. Thank you.
