Q: Storyboard SVG Templating, 5.0 or 5.1?

[Emmet O'Neill]

No, it shouldn't add any new strings to Krita, because we can just use the
same "SVG template path" gui element.

It would require updated docs, which I think I could do relatively quickly.
Currently:
https://docs.krita.org/en/reference_manual/dockers/storyboard_docker.html#exporting-storyboard
