SVG Preview x64

Post by acheton »

HI Don

I can't preview SVG files in x64 but it works fine with the same file(s) in x32. Just wanted to let you know.

thanks

A little off-topic, but it would be nice to have a preview SVG files in XY file explorer.
Now for this I have to install SvgSee.

The SVG issue was resolved some time ago ensure that Config>previewed formats>svg. exists only in web file.

Thanks Brian, not sure I understand your comment. SVG only exists in web file in my config. The preview works fine with the same config in x32. Am I missing somethign which will make it work in x64?

For me .svg preview works fine in the actual x64 XY.
It's defined in the Web files category
Windows 11 Home, Version 24H2 (OS Build 26100.4770)
Portable x64 XYplorer (Actual version, including betas)
Display settings 1920 x 1080 Scale 100%
Everything 1.5.0.1396a (x64), Everything Toolbar 1.5.5.0, Listary Pro 6.3.5.93

In my case, when using x64, SVG works fine in the preview tab, but it fails to render in the floating preview window. I just get a black screen that will hang XY for a bit before I can close it.

I also have .svg defined as a web file preview, though I've tried others and none work.

I'm on the current beta of x64 and windows 10.

I can confirm that the floating preview doesn't work in X64
but there is no hang at all.
I just displays a white window.

The remaining issues are due to a twinBASIC bug. They are working on it.
