SVGs can now be Imported As Control

[richmond62]

Oh, Gosh, Gosh, Gosh they can.

I got "all excited" and was rolling in the ashes until I tried it:

and then sobered up a bit:

1. the imported image is NOT a scaleable vector object.

2. My example, at least, went wonky.

one can, at least, sidestep the bother of converting SVG images into
PNG format.

if i open your svg file from your zip in the bug database in Inkscape i get to see this:

Knipsel.PNG (11.3 KiB) Viewed 3582 times

So i wonder where the fault may be, in the svg source or in LC

[richmond62]

That SVG was converted from an EPS file with Adobe Illustrator.

The EPS file was, ironically perhaps, exported from Inkscape:
which now refuses to import it.

Probably something in that conversion goes wrong i guess.

I have a simple png file with color imported in inkscape and saved as svg, which loads correct in LC.
