Suggest an Idea

Hello,

It appears that Qlik  does not accept .svg (or other vector image format) for thumbnails, image in dashboard, etc...

I think that would be a great idea, especially to manage web integration and support of different resolutions.
here an example of a svg logo I made :


As you can see you can zoom in/out without loose quality.

For reference, here is long blog post about why SVG is great : https://bumpsetcreative.com/10-reasons-the-image-format-svg-is-rocking-the-internet/

To sum it up :

1) SVGs are widely supported 2) SVGs are speedy 3) SVGs scale perfectly 4) SVGs are high resolution 5) SVGs can be styled through CSS 6) SVGs can be animated 7) SVGs can be rearranged easily 8) SVGs support transparency 9) SVGs are great for readability 10) SVGs stand out

PS : I know there is an extension but that deserves to be natively supported for all kind of image.

Yes, but unfortunately svg is not well supported by Internet Explorer.

Note that the map chart can render SVG images, see the tip on the last sheet at:

Hello @Patric_Nordstrom 

Yeah, but frankly in 2020, I don't care about IE. Moreover, IE is no more supported by QS so it's really not a big deal. It's even a good reason to get rid of this dinosaure 😉

For the map chart, I know, I have demonstrated that to my customers. However, the idea is to have the ability to use svg everywhere we can use matricial image (e.g. : thumbnail of an application)

So, I don't think the idea is delivered.

Best regards,

Sure but IE probably not going away in any near future.

Oh ok. Thanks.

Can you please change the status to open as the idea is not delivered?

Hello@Patric_Nordstrom 

It would be nice if the new navigation button accept svg as a background picture 🙂

Sure, and url as source would also be nice-

On QSB, I can have the preview of the picture... but then I can't use it 😞  :

Hello all,

There was a turnaround with an extension (not for everything, only to display a picture in the dashboard.. not for thumbnails or icon) . Seems it doesn't work with the last QS versions : https://github.com/brianwmunz/svgReader-QlikSense/issues/49

Best regards,
