WWB16 SVG Extension
Posted: Tue Sep 01, 2020 8:53 am
I use SVG images in my projects where I can. This was previously through using the the SVG Extension in WWB v15.
Is that extension still required?
The reason I ask is that I uninstalled that extension when after installing WWB16 as I noticed in an add features page (in the section showing the newly added Webp image format) that SVG files appeared in the image format "pick list" . So, I figured that SVG image were now native to WWB.
When I construct a test project from scratch in WWB16 just to see using the image/SVG (without the SVG extension installed) it appeared to work just fine.
However, when I open a previously constructed project (WWB15), WWB16 wanted to re-install the SVG extension again.
When I don't fully proceed with the SVG extension install, WWB16 does not open all the pages of the previously saved project (I use a master header and footer with SVG images but WWB16 also does not load any other "Do Not Publish" pages e.g. and object holding pages and test pages that actually do not have any SVG files in them).
When I do proceed with the re-installation of the SVG Extension, WWB16 opens all the previous project as it should.
I don't know if it is a bug or it is my old projects.
I have re-saved them under WWB16 but that doesn't seem to solved the issue.
Any assistance welcome.
