Hi. It’s suggested to use the native package when possible since it can make use of your system’s image format plugin. This is an image viewer program and using AppImage could slow down the start-up time which is very unlikely something you want. Flatpak can also be used but it’s only suggest for people who are using an immutable Linux distribution (e.g. Steam OS).
Hello, I was looking for a simple and free program to quickly view svg files, I found yours on sourceforge, but I ran into some difficulties.file created in Libreoffice Draw is displayed incorrectly.I have a suspicion that the text is not displayed because it needs to be converted to curves, are there any recommendations for solving this problem?I need to leave the text in the file as is for easy editing.Thanks for the program.
Hi! Currently the SVG support is limited to the static features of SVG 1.2 Tiny standard. It’s possible to bring better SVG support by writing a new Qt imageformat plugin with librsvg but I don’t have time working on it right now, so you might need to convert the text to curves to make it display correctly in this app (or other apps that only support SVG 1.2 Tiny standard) currently. Sorry about that.
