Hi, I made my first SVG animation this weekend and had almost as much fun getting it to play nicely with Zope as I did writing the animation! Even though browser support is still very patchy - only Opera and webkit (Safari, Chrome, Nokia) can handle animations - it does provide an extremely compact alternative to Flash for simple animations*. Firefox is due to support animation in the next patch release of Gecko, though who knows when that may be! For Internet Explorer you can use either a plugin or Google's javascript library http://code.google.com/p/svgweb/ - hardly worth it for one-offs as it's a 2,5 MB monster that still relies on Flash.
Anyway having tried a few things the question I have is, what's the best way of supporting svg in the CMF? Currently the easiest approach isusing a .metadata file and registerting the .svg extension for FSFile because FSImage ignores .metadata and mimetypes altogether Once image/svg+xml has been added to zope.contenttype.mime.types a separate .metadata file becomes unnecessary. Would it be an idea to add content type checking based on mime types to FSImage's use of getImageInfo? Or is this too much of an edge case to be worth bothering with?
