Why not just file a bug? http://bugzilla.gnome.org/browse.cgi?product=librsvg
(I can do that for you, I have an account in GNOME's bugzilla, just let me know if you want) I am one of those who really want and need SVG support in E. I am using EFM and I'm often browsing the dirs with my vector works, which, of course, are all in SVG format. I know that its not that useful right now, but it will become very nice one day, and we all we will use it for many things, including browsing SVG files. And as raster noted, it's not just the thumbnailing... We need it. Enabled by default or not. EFL are using third-party software for their needs - from dbus to librsvg, from openssl to xine and gstreamer. When you find a bug, you should provide a feedback to the project's maintainers. As others would provide feedback and will report bug to EFL when they use it. - Mano On 3/6/07, The Rasterman Carsten Haitzler <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Tue, 6 Mar 2007 00:40:44 -0500 Michael Jennings <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > babbled: > > > On Tuesday, 06 March 2007, at 05:06:04 (+0000), > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > > > > Well, that's probably too drastic.
