Hello,
Xnview Classic 2.47 installation mini (french) on w10, svg is listed in availables formats.
When I open a folder full of svg files, all have IE icon.
Dble-clic open it in Edge.
Diaporama fails with a "unknow format" error.
What can I do to activate svg support ?
Thanks
Christian

only XnView MP support SVG natively, for XnView Classic you need to install third party plugin (not free)

No need for shareware plugins
Just download
rsvg-convert and extract
rsvg-convert.exe in to the
Plugins directory

So, we have a web page with 500 'supported' formats
https://www.xnview.com/fr/xnview/#formats
who claimed read support for svg linked from the xnview classic description page,
And a in-app "Informations..." panel who say the same : "svg read yes",
And a Mr xnview (the boss?) who say : NO, but you can pay. (with no clue on what plugin buy where !)
Plus the helping anon aboy who give a way to a insecure page, to download a free plugin from a sourceforge account
https://sourceforge.net/projects/tumagcc/
tagged with "Malware Detected".
What a confusion !

Which plugins do you have?

I believe too in a false-positive.
But obviously, the autor of a real malware will probably not announce it as it is
In the other hand, SourceForge claiming that he is knowingly distributing malware "at your own risk" is a startospheric joke.
I cant believe how they can drive their biz that way. And can't believe a (serious) dev can put his work in their hand (to view it labeled malware!!!).
thx

So you have no SVG support, could you post a screenshot of 'available formats'?

This one :
?
This is from 2.47 mini,
but I'm ready to install 2.48 extended.
Do you prefer I keep 2.47 to diagnose, or update to see if it's relevant in 2.48 ?

by default there is no SVG support so you should have CADimage.dll or another plugin
