SVGs to share

[likeablejerk]

Well now I’m really interested in what I’m supposed to be ignoring.

But since I don’t know what that is, I’ll just take the moment to share this photo of Barbra Streisand’s house:

[kennethclapp]

Yea, I just did that on another thread. Somehow discourse was turning the file into just a black circle…

[Jules]

The black circle is a function of how the file was created. Henry’s did the same thing.

I’ll write a little something up on the other thread.

I spent 20 minutes trying to upload SVG files :-/ I’ll give this a try!

We can’t delete topics but Dan can. Stick some files in there and change the title. Trying to upload SVGs or what? If SVG makes sure that the file dimensions as shown in the markup get a couple extra zeros added to them so the image is big enough to see. Don’t know why they always are but in at such crazy small dimensions.

[kittski]

It’s like fight club; I can’t talk about what you are to ignore. Just rest assured it’s best to ignore it for your own good.

[kittski]

Seriously Jules, I spent 20 minutes trying to get SVG files to show up. I even had a glass of wine to clear my head and still couldn’t get them loaded correctly.

Had something posted and now I deleted it. Good job. This is nice! Now you change the topic to something like: Posting an SVG of an acorn

[kittski]

You’re a friggin hero!! Where were you last night when I sat here thinking more wine would make the SVGs appear somehow. The wine didn’t fix my upload issue, but it made me not really care any more lol.

***For those uploading SVG files, just add a few zeros to the height and width in the link and it’s makes the image visible. Add them here >>> "width=“800” height=“1100” <<<

@jbv did some troubleshooting on this recently. Here’s a link to his post:

The Strawberry Saver

weird. I wish I had a better answer for you. I had not noticed the little gear for the Export for Screens save prefs, but now that you pointed it out, the svg settings are the same set as the ones displayed in Export. When I try to use Export or Export for screens, all the svgs display tiny in discourse. Using Internal CSS with Export gave me the black-box issue you described (and still tiny). Using Save As or Save Copy gives more options. These are the Save As/Save Copy settings that I u…

Thank you so much for your generous gift to the community!

Did you want this thread deleted or moved? I couldn’t tell what you wished.

Thanks Dan, I think I got it sorted out and the files uploaded correctly so no need to delete it. If it goes somewhere else, feel free to move it though.

Very cool stuff. Thanks for sharing!

Thank you for the beautiful art–I love it!

[marmak3261]

Wow. These a great. Love the thistle and the trout is very useful. I have been working on vectorizing a photo of a trout. I have a few family members who really fish a lot. I myself just go to the freezer when I need them. Somehow the Lord supplies, as this topic did just now!

[kittski]

I would LOVE for someone to figure out a way to use the trout, even if it needs to be modified. That thing was a labor of love that took me hours to get right. Glad to hear you you were in the market for one

Here’s a modified trout:

[kittski]

Dude, he’s awesome! Can you vectorize that for me?

[andistarnes]

These are lovely. Thanks for sharing!
