Overview

Are SVG files officially supported by Xinet?

Information

Xinet Server versions 2021.3 and earlier do not officially support SVG files. However, as a workaround, to generate a preview, you can follow the steps below:

1. Install Inkscape using the command yum install -y inkscape
2. Using the command line, navigate to your image file.
3. Run the following command: inkscape file.svg --export-plain-svg=newfile.svg
4. A second SVG file should be created in the Volume.
5. Run chmod 666 *
6. Run apache file.svg
7. Run /usr/etc/venture/bin/syncvoltodb -D -delnorm /media/images

Alternatively, you can create a PNG file using Inkscape with the command inkscape file.svg -e newfile.png --export-background-opacity=0 --without-gui --export-dpi=200 and repeat the steps from 5 to 7.

This should generate a preview in Xinet with some clutter but still a distinguishable image.
