How to use import package to keep relative path references in subfiles and at the same time use svg?

Question

I have the following directory structure:

main.tex
chapter/
    chapter1.tex
    img/
        image.svg

This is the content of main.tex:

\documentclass{report}
\usepackage{svg}

\begin{document}
\import{chapter/}{chapter1}
\end{document}

This is chapter/chapter1.tex:

\begin{figure}
    \centering
    \includesvg[width=0.7\textwidth, svgpath = img/]{image}
    \caption{Caption}
\end{figure}

How to use import package to keep relative path references in subfiles and at the same time use svg files?

If I use the svg in a main file and not in a subfile, it's generated correctly.

Does svg work normally on your system? Did you ever try it without \import or svgpath? Consider egreg's comment — Symbol 1, Mar 1, 2015 at 6:53
Yes, as I said at the end, this works properly without import. Without svgpath attribute it won't work. — bryant1410, Mar 2, 2015 at 6:34
Oops, missed that. It looks like svg package does know the correct path and did try it. You can prove/disprove it by testing any other extensions (.png/.jpg/etc). Turns out this package reports poor error messages so I cannot tell where things go wrong. A stupid fix may be adding the current directory in \Ginput@path to svgpath by hand. — Symbol 1, Mar 2, 2015 at 7:06
How can I add \Ginput@path to svgpath? Can you give an example? I've tried, but failed. — bryant1410, Mar 2, 2015 at 9:01

Adding

\makeatletter
  \svgpath{{\input@path/img/}}
\makeatother

to the start of chapter1.tex works.
