Discussion

• http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/tags/stable/editor/svg-editor.html doesn't work with my IE8. On http://code.google.com/p/svg-edit/ it is also stated, that IE is not supported at all. Therefore I think, adding this to the repro is not a good idea. Having this implemented is puzzeling for IE users. The svg-editor is launched, however you are not able to click on a button and select a tool. Futhermore you are not able to draw. The svg editor triggers a javascript error in my IE.

  • try the demo on svg-edit with IE8 after you have installed the chromeframe add-on, e.g. svg-edit_ie8_chromeframe.png. My action SvgEditor is currently (2009-09-25) not ready for IE8 and this plugin

    • moin-2.0 has svgweb support for IE. Besides that please explain me why it is bad to install a plugin in IE in general if you also do it for pdf from adobe? Do we need a png file for displaying a svg file for IE-users?
• I don't like the built-in accesskey support of svg-edit (based on js-hotkeys). This approach might interfere with other accesskey implementations in Moin desperately needed (in the future) for quickly navigating in the wiki by keyboard only, triggering action like editing, canceling editing searching etc. See also the recent discussion on ThemeMarket/Solenoid for a normal user(?) who prefers to navigate with the keyboard only.

  • please help with discussing this point at svg-edit issue tracker too.

• All in all, at a first glance, FeatureRequests/JHotDrawSupport looks maturer to me and could be also used to edit not only svg, but also png, jpg and draw files, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:AnyWikiDraw. It would be good to have one image editor for editing most of the common image files in Moin and not one editor for every single image format, IMHO.

  • I want to have the possibility to use multiple editors and the possibility to choose between. We won't get a guarantee that everyones browser/jre will work with everything yet. The current version of JHotDrawSupport does not run in my browser (with icedtea). I can't even tryout it on one of my systems.
  • And keep in mind we are discussing about an implementation in 2010/2011 and not about now. We should keep us open for different approaches.

• Concerning the svg test-files on page JosefMeier: cannot display as.svg either in Firefox 3.5.1 nor in Opera 9.63 on my WinXP Home Sp3. example2.svg works fine in both browsers and displayed in the same way. -- OliverSiemoneit 2009-08-25 20:27:23

  • I tried as.svg on my Firefox 3.5.2 (Win XP also) and it works fine. -- JosefMeier 2009-08-26 20:27:23

    • Strange. When you go to JosefMeier, hit "attachments" and then as.svg "show" (German: "anzeigen"), the image seems not to be displayed correctly and/or only the left upper white corner is displayed(??), see screenshot1.png. However if you click "download" (German: "laden"), the image (in a whole??) seems to be displayed correctly, see screenshot2.png. So this might be rather a bug of Moin?? -- OliverSiemoneit 2009-08-26 17:42:58

      • that last point discussion should be moved to the FeatureRequests/JHotDrawSupport page. -- ReimarBauer 2009-08-26 18:35:45

• I like svg-edit. It is being actively developed. It would be nice if svg-edit opens by clicking an image, as tdraw and adraw do. Currently, you have to go to attachment and click edit to open svg-edit. Thanks. -- TakeoKatsuki 2010-04-06 05:12:39

• In my environment (moin1.9.2 on Linux), svg-edit doesn't always save images. -- TakeoKatsuki 2010-04-06 05:32:05

  • do you see something in the logs, does it send?

• Objects cannot be deleted, because hitting the Back Space key changes the page. This doesn't occur with the demo page of SVG-edit. http://svg-edit.googlecode.com/svn/branches/2.4/editor/svg-editor.html -- TakeoKatsuki 2010-04-06 05:32:05

  • that is may be because it is embedded into the page body. (you can select the delete icon), need to investigate it, after some key strokes the back and del/back key works (i did shift+up)
