It's possible[1], and I'd bet the old ones were in fact generated as vector exports, but the smallest versions may not look very good without some manual retouch, which I didn't do to the attached files. (I may not have the right filenames either, but I'm sure you can sort it out.)
[1] To do so, you:
- Open Inkscape and load the .svgz
- Select File > Export Bitmap from the menu
- Set the dimensions and filename and click Export
- Repeat step 3 as necessary to generate all required sizes
Thank you. These look great!
You're welcome.
I'll have to build inkscape as the app does not come standard with Slackware. That means building about a dozen dependencies too. Sigh.
I was able to open the svgz in karbon14, but karbon14 stretched the image vertically, like Silly Putty. Would be nice if we could figure out how to use TDE software to support these images --- eat our own dog food.
GIMP may have some svg support as well, but since it's primarily for raster graphics and I already have Inkscape installed, I went straight for the vector-specific program. But yes, not a small application—not quite as nasty to compile as, say, Chromium, but there are times I see an update become available and kind of roll my eyes. Boost, which IIRC it depends on for building, is worse than Inkscape itself, too.
There used to be a couple of smaller vector graphics editors for Linux floating around, but I can't even remember their names anymore (skencil? Was that one?), much less their capabilities or status.
As for "eating our own dog food" . . . we've obviously got svg display capabilities in there somewhere, or we wouldn't be able to use these icons in the first place. Does anyone have any idea how to hook that into KView[1], so that we can view svg/svgz in a Trinity application? Is this something we should file a bug/RFE for?
[1]TView? I must admit that I haven't been keeping proper track, with packaging still stalled here.
