[Feature] Support SVG image files

[blaggacao]

As a Corporate Identity professional,
I want to issue cross platform compatible high resolution (somewhat scriptable) letter heads,
I chose SVG.

In my quick review an imported SVG image was displayed as a object block (red cross)

Seems like a good idea, created and issue in our private bug tracker (#37564)

Hey! Any word on this feature?

[ShockwaveNN]

@lePereT Hi, sorry no news, currently it's not high priority task

Bump! I just had a user have to go to Office 365 to get this feature ... :(

I hope this feature will be added someday

I just to post a workaround.
OnlyOffice Desktop Editors seem to well support the .emf format (Windows Metafile).
And with Inkscape, you can transfer a .svg image into a .emf image.

I reached a state of git backed markdown and pandoc empowered publishing workflow for everything. It makes more sense and has easy to handle metadata.

i tested for OnlyOffice latest verions (Win10 64bit) and it's displayed normally after insert image commands, but the problems comes with printing and reopening the document.

I just tried adding an ".SVG" image and figured it wouldn't happen. What can we possibly do to emphasize the importance of the feature?

[ShockwaveNN]

@pwnoobz Sorry, nothing we can do here. Best way is to contact sales@onlyoffice.com

I wanted to post an update of this issue as of OO 7.3.0.
It is possible to insert an SVG image in Microsoft Office and then the created .docx file will open and display correctly in OO and you can modify the file without loosing the image.
So it seems SVG is somehow supported in OO, yet it is not yet possible to directly insert an SVG image within OO.
I am wondering why there still is this limitation.

[risacher]

@parrenin I suspect what happens is that MS Office stores it as an SVG internally, but also with a rastered preview, and OO is showing the rastered preview.

[parrenin]

I just downloaded and tested 7.5.0.
It is good to be able to insert svg images.
However, the appearance of the svg images are fuzzy, which removes the advantage of vector graphics.
Are the svg images converted to raster graphics when imported?
In this case, this is not a true support of SVG graphics.

Hello, @parrenin! In the server version this is true support of SVG graphics, but for the desktop it will get better in the hotfix.

[Gingetsu]

Hello, @parrenin! This case will be fixed in the hotfix.

[Rita-Bubnova]

DesktopEditors v7.5.1 is released so I close this issue. Feel free to comment or reopen it if you got further questions.

svg works perfectly if I edit a local presentation in the DesktopEditor. However, if I try to edit a document in nextcloud (via the DesktopEditor) there is no svg support.

Both my local DesktopEditor and the one running behind nextcloud are on version v.8.0.1.31

Hello, @SohnyBohny! Create a new issue, please.
