[RFE]: add SVGz thumbnailing
Last modified: 2009-01-22 16:11:17 UTC
svgz files are just gzip-compressed svg files, but nautilus does not recognize them as images and does not show their thumbnail as file icon (to test, just take any svg file, compress it with gzip and give the result an svgz extension. It should be displayed in nautilus like the original svg file)
librsvg includes svgz support, but it is optional and has to be enabled at compile time. (See the configure.in file at http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/librsvg/trunk/configure.in?view=markup for the --with-svgz flag). So... compile it that way, or file a bug with your distro. - Mike
Actually, I see that Fedora is built with "--with-svgz", but it doesn't show svgz thumbnails. Perhaps there is another problem... re-opening.
looking at the latest fedora devel nautilus version it seems someone fixed it since I opened the bug (double-clicking launches file-roller, which complains of unknown archive type, but it's probably not a nautilus problem) -> closing ;)
