[solved] How to view SVG files all at once

Postby neelie338 » Thu Sep 11, 2008 4:11 am

Hi...I am new here...how can I view more than 1 SVG image at one time....(example: view photos in picassa) I can see a whole page full of photographs I have taken at one time and choose what I want...whenever I try to see SVG files it is only one at a time? am I doing something wrong or is there a way to see a page full at one time....also I have a lot of Boo Boos I would like to delete...how do I delete a svg file? thank you very much....smart in some ways...senior moment in others....neelie338

I would like to see a whole page of svgs ....pick out what I want to delete .. comparing one file to another and pick the best one....to keep

Are you a Linux user who uses Gnome? If so then you already have this functionality with Nautilus. Turn on image display and you'll see images in the whole directory. I believe KDE has tools tools to do this too...but I forget.

Since you mentioned Picasa I'm going to assume you are using windows. This thread might have some information to help you - viewtopic.php?f=22&t=43

Note that if you have a prefered application for viewing graphics (such as Picasa) you should attempt to approach the authors about including support. The more applications that support SVG the more popular the format will become.

@microUgly

You're probably right about neelie338 being a Windows user but just so you know, Picasa works on Linux too.

I think Richard Querin told me about a program that adds SVG viewing to File Explorer in Windows but it has been so long ago I forget. I'll have to email him and see if he remembers.

@prkos

Perhaps that would work. I remember the one that I'm thinking of starting with the letter "R".

You are brilliant! That's exactly it. You are now an honorary member of the Clue Club (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clue_Club). :D
