Maybe develop a version of XnView as a Google Chrome App?

I'm not 100% sure how Google Chrome Apps work but it seems to me that considering the increased demand for more file format support (in particular SVG since it's becoming more and more popular for web design as well as for other uses) that it might make some sense to attempt to develop a version of XnView as a Google Chrome App to better allow for cross platform compatibility (your code wouldn't need to be ported to each individual OS then) as well as being able to take advantage of native support for SVG file formats as well as other formats.

Just putting this out there as something to consider for the possible future of XnView especially since Google Chrome is available for pretty much every OS now (I use it on both Windows and Kubuntu Linux myself), and like I said it would solve the problem of native support for many file formats.
