The very fact that we're generating PNGs at different resolutions from SVGs, when decent support for SVG would make that mostly redundant, says we should be fixing our SVG support (and making it efficient enough to make it practical to use it).Eddy, who illustrates geometry essays with hand-written inline SVGs.
Just to be The Grumpy One, this is: 1) an immense task given QtSVG is fundamentally unmaintained; 2) possibly an artistic anti-goal, given that artists want* use of full SVG profile and not just tiny/basic profile (= implementation nightmare)
* full control over SVG rendering, something hard to guarantee;* (related) not to rebuild+run the application after changing a SVG see if there's something wrong in Qt's rasterized results;
* control over *lower* resolutions where one typically retouches the pre-rasterized results;
3) a performance hit unless a SVG icon cache is put in place. Do we already a working, cross-platform one?
