Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nautilus
The Create Launcher application (which can be opened by right-clicking on the desktop or by adding an applet to the panel) does not allow selecting SVGs via the custom icon browser once you click on "Browse" even though the "Browse Icons" dialog lists them. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open Create Launcher 2. Click on the icon button 3. Click "Browse..." at the top 4. Try to select an SVG I filed a bug in gnome (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=581158) but it was marked as invalid with the following comments: Nautilus isn't doing anything special here. It just calls gtk_file_filter_add_pixbuf_formats() to add all of the formats supported by GdkPixbuf to the file chooser's list. If that doesn't include SVG's, it's probably a configuration problem (it works perfectly fine here). You need to installed LibRSVG to support rendering SVG images in Gdk (as I'm not aware of any other plugin that currently supports rendering SVGs). I checked to see if I had livrsvg installed, and I do. $ uname -a Linux th 2.6.28-11-generic #42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 01:58:03 UTC 2009 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available.
