svg's are not listed in Browser

Post by peter_from_space »

Hello together,

i really like xnview using on OSX

although there seems to be no problem to display svg's with xnview,
i can't see them in xnview browser.
that also means i can't browse through several svg's in the same directory but open one afteranother by open directly.

in my case i want to check hover effekt on 2 svg's.

I'm really looking forward using that feature.

OSX 10.9.5 | xnview 0.78 x64

No browser thumbnails for SVG files on Windows either, although the images open normally in the viewer.

SVG files in the folder are missing completely, no icons displayed either...

Windows 7 SP1 x64 and XnView MP 0.78 x32 ZIP, also x64 ZIP.

Thanks that works, and I've discovered a setting I wasn't aware of which I suppose might sometimes be useful! :wink:

I still don't know why SVG(Z) is excluded by default, though :?
