I could tell, there was nothing syntactically wrong with the file, it was just bloated

(I do have bigger SVG files on hand, but none of them were intended to be
icons...)
And was it something that he owned/had permission to use, or was kdesvn shipping
with a bizarre hidden copyright violation for however many years?
Please see if the attached file works as needed/intended. If it does, I'll tackle
the
others.

Re-saved this one for you. If that doesn't help, I
suspect the problem is either whatever spammed the Adobe namespace into the
file, or the use of some fancy features (chained clones) and/or the over 600
individual shapes the file contains (that text on the "document" pages?
Thanks for resaving. Strangely, identify still hangs with the resaved file too. I have no
idea why that one
file causes identify to hang. I waited at several minutes and the command prompt never
reappeared in konsole.
This is the only compressed svg in the entire source tree that does this. It's
actual text, rendered as shapes, although I'm not sure I even want to
know why the original artist had a Spanish-language document on the
Atkins diet handy, or why they chose to C&P that instead of something
remotely relevant like the text of the GPL . . .)
Yeah, now that I enlarge the image, kind of funny. What was up with that, I wonder? :-)
Anyway, the
visual I get from Inkscape matches hi64-action-tdesvnaddrecursive.png,
so it's probably correct.
If this doesn't fix it, best thing to do is probably replace
the text with horizontal grey bars (it can't be read at icon-size
anyway). And not use clones.
Would you do that please? Or convert the text to "greek" text? Whichever is
easiest!
Now that I ask that, I see two other svgz images have that same Atkins diet text. Those
also probably should get converted to gray bars or "greek" text:
hisc-action-tdesvndelete.svgz
hisc-action-tdesvnadd.svgz BTW, I just discovered a command line utility named
ksvgtopng. Packaged as part of tdelibs. Works really
slick. If you fix those three svgz files, I can update the associated png files quite
easily. :-)
Heh. I imagine that's what the KDE devs used.
With respect to the remaining png files in my original
list, I think they all are hopeless. No original upstream
sources and nothing will allow even partial viewing. We have no clue what the images
should look like.
So we either draw new ones or replace them with reasonably generic icons from
among those already on-hand. Or, if they're never actually displayed anywhere,
delete them from the tree, just to be tidy.
