enter svg in field, click on Add, select svg entry, and change the color. After i have the good color
there is a little problem, you need to change color after adding it (this tab need to be enhanced)

there is a little bug, if you enter svg, change color, and click add, the color is not saved
This doesn't work for me: The entry is added but the SVG files still have the wrong colour (which is the colour of JPG files).

This is the entry which has been added by XnView in the .ini file:
formatColor-26="[svg],255 255 0,0 0 0"

When adding "svg", which entry do you choose in the dropdownlist on the right side?

Hello:

I just found if you remove .jpeg then it works. It seems .jpeg is over powering .svg

How to Add:
1.)Clear the right hand text box to empty,
2.)Then Add [svg] without brackets into the left hand text box
3.)Click Add button
It works then.
Then you can add jpeg back..

Are these the exact steps, Pierre?
  1. Go to Tools → Settings... → File list → Custom filter and remove svg from the list of formats to be excluded.
  2. Go to Tools → Settings... → File list → Format colors.
  3. Activate Use color based on file format.
  4. Select SVG in the drop-down list.
  5. Click the Add button.
  6. Select [svg] in the list.
  7. Choose your preferred colors by clicking the buttons on the right of the dialog.
  8. Confirm with OK.
  9. Point the browser to a folder which contains SVG file.

I tried this way, and all sorts of other ways also.

Only way I got it working was by :
--Adding svg With No brackets[].
--Right hand side has to be Blank
--Remove .jpeg from the list
Then add jpeg back.

Edit:
Adding .jpeg back to the list bring back the wrong color again.. :( Blue

The INI entry for svg isn't enclosed in square brackets:

Thanks for conformation XnTriq

I had to edit my post above because it was a short lived fix.. :D

Does this work on an Hierarchy or something, because when I came back to XnView .jpeg had moved itself to the top of the list and its color
is Over-Riding svg again. :?

Really wierd..

I had deleted my INI before I tried your method. After a restart, [jpeg] is still at the very end of the list. I can also change the colors.

As we can see in the above postings and long discussion, the current "Format colour" dialog is a mess and buggy.

@Pierre: You seem to be the only one that sees that colour in the browser for svg files while five other users don't see it. Do you really see the format colour for svg files that you have set in the browser? What is your setting in the .ini file?

Why are there two fields (text field and drop downlist)? What are these two fields for and how are they used?

I've since removed all other formats except for [jpeg] + [png] + svg and restarted MP. Now all formats are back: 2 × [jpeg] + 2 × svg :-|

Hi:

Try this one. I used options panel to enable the format colors and .svg was already their.
I only changed its color to purple.

As you can see It's using .jpeg color.
If I manually put it above .jpeg in the list, it starts working correctly until restart.
