Blend - Import Adobe Photoshop File - disabled

Question

Hi

I've opened my xaml solution in Blend for VS (release preview) to import an icon from photoshop but the Import option is disabled. Is it unsupported for xaml projects or have I done something wrong?
Thanks

Answer 1

Importers are not supported in Blend for Visual Studio 2012. You can either use Expression Blend 4 or Expression Blend for Silverlight 5 preview to import your Photoshop image and then copy over the resulting canvas to Blend for Visual Studio 2012.

Answer 2

Importers are not supported in Blend for Visual Studio 2012 release.

Did you mean to say release preview? Can we expect this feature will be enabled in the final release?

Answer 3

No, this will not be available in the RTM bits.

Answer 4

Why on earth would you have menu entries that are permanently disabled?

That makes no sense whatsoever :-(.

Such a shame.
