I can open svg with XnView, but it would be also great if I could see svg thumbnails in the browser.
Re: How to view SVG files in XnView browser?
You can see thumbnails, or just the file icon?
I ask as in a similar thread last week it seemed that currently thumbnails weren't available.

@VictorVG
Sorry, to be clear is logotype-mail.svg above displayed as a thumbnail or an icon?

This is a SVG logo file with the pages saved in the HTML browser. Get such files easily - a browser "Save page as HTML entirely" and in the ./<save_page_name>_Files subdirectory We look at the presence of *.svg .

Re: How to view SVG files in XnView browser?
xnview: first, before saying anything else, I want to thank you for this program.
Concerning your reply above, yes, that Exclude solution works for me as well.
But...
1) why do I have to do that? If XnView supports SVG files, why is svg in the exclude list in the first place? Is the SVG support only preliminary, maybe unstable or something?
2) in fact, there ARE issues:
a) when XnView opens SVG files that I have created, it does so at a super small size, much smaller than other programs do. For example, there is one file that I am looking at which ~10 cm wide in XnView, ~22.5 cm wide in Brave & Chrome, ~23 cm wide in GIMP (IF, when opening the file, I manually override the default 90 DPI and replace it with my monitor's actual DPI of 163), ~42 cm in LibreOffice Draw.
b) if in XnView I zoom in on an SVG file, yes, the image blows up, but it looks awful. It is as if XnView converts the SVG into a bitmap and then simply blows up the bitmap. That is no good! The whole point of SVG's vector graphics is that they should support perfect scaling!

xnview: thanks for confirming.
I assume that you are using some 3rd party code library for the current SVG support. Do you know if that library has plans to properly supprt SVG vector graphics in the future? Or is there another code library which does?
Re: How to view SVG files in XnView browser?
Currently i use the one from QT libs, and i'm not sure that support will be better in future...
