But what do you want to do with it? Change the color of the dots?
If so, when you import the SVG in gimp Uncheck: the "Import Paths"  because we don't need it in this case (and there are more than 11,000 paths in it which could take a while to load)

so far so good - this is no problem. 

Quote:2. Once imported, in the layer's dialog (AKA layer's stack), click that icon to lock (protect) the alpha channel > To paint the dots, not the transparency.

okay - that step is doable here. 

3.  see what happened when i choosed a color.. 

Before step 3 you missed to click on that button in the layer's dialog > this button is important because it's to not fill the transparent areas > Click on it before to fill with a color
Click on the image below to see it in a bigger size, to see what icon/button I am talking about
   

Once that icon is selected, Only then you can drag and drop a color. Wink
