A while ago we updated several wallpaper svgz images. How did we do that --- what software
was used?
I updated several png images in GIT hash 49c4ccfe to fix some branding. I would like to
update a related svgz, but I don't how.
The specific file to update:
tdebase/kcontrol/pics/crsc-app-background.svgz.
View tdebase/kcontrol/pics/cr128-app-background.png in the latest GIT to see how I updated
that image. The svgz should look the same.
Thanks!

Working on it—give me an hour or so. The program I used for the
wallpaper updates was Inkscape, for what it's worth.

No problem. This should hopefully do it—I think I spotted all the
gradients and shading bits and corner details that were in the old
version, anyway.

Hey, that looks great!
Is there a way to save the svgz at 128x128 pixels? That way we can create the PNG files
from the svgz file. The PNGs needed are 128x128, 64x64, 48x48, 32x32, 22x22, 16x16.

1. Open Inkscape and load the .svgz
2. Select File > Export Bitmap from the menu

4. Repeat step 3 as necessary to generate all required sizes

Thank you. These look great!
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.

Neither kview nor kuickshow display svgz files. Nor do showfoto (digikam), chalk, or
kolourpaint. However, those latter three only support bitmap images. I would think the two
viewers should handle any image file.
Gwenview and karbon14 support svg files. Karbon14 is actually an editor, but distorts the
svg image when opening. At least, your svgz got distorted/stretched. I am unfamiliar with
using graphical apps and perhaps I don't have something set correctly.
Gwenview has a conversion plugin that seems to work well, but I never figured out how to
convert your svgz to 128x128 png size.
If you have time and interest, would you tinker a bit with karbon14 and svg files?
Likewise with gwenview converting svgz to png 128x128? If the problem is between my ears
then all the better. If not then I will file a bug report. I need somebody familiar with
these things to provide a proper evaulation. :-)
I agree both kview and kuickshow should display svg(z) files. I'll open an enhancement
request for that, although I'm tempted to file that as a bug. Possibly we can grab the
svg code from gwenview and import to kview and kuickshow.

I created enhancement request 1022 to update kview and kuickshow with svg(z) support.
