Hello,
I need an application like “I have a list of svg files in a web page. I want to edit them by SVG-EDIT on-the-fly. To do so I want to click on any of them and it opens with SVG-EDIT (having this svg file in Layer 1)”.
Please suggest me how to do it.

Regards,

@daPhyre This is just a link to trunk (latest) version of SVG-edit. I used SVG-edit 2.4 in Chromium under Linux without problems, I don't know what issues you have. But it's fine to know that the bug got eventually fixed.

When I first heard about Google Chrome OS, I became worried because most of my day-to-day applications might not be able to be used in this near OS, so I began searching for the best alternatives.

Inkscape is one of these tools I quite often use. When I found SVG-edit, I though my search was over, until I tried it in my brand new Beta Google Chrome 4 for Linux. As I got understood, GCOS will be linux-based, so, if something don’t work on a Linux GC, it won’t either in the GCOS.

Searching for a better alternative, I came to stop here. And when I clicked on the image for curiosity: A Miracle: I works!

What is the difference? I hadn’t notice the truck version in the Demos section, and the 2.4 version still doesn’t work with Linux CG. Anyway, the project seems to be going on the right path, and I bet that when GCOS is finally released, this project is going to be one of the main apps used in the new Operative System. Keep on with this awesome web application!

Hi Pavol,

Great beginning for svg-edit. I opened two minor issues and sent patches for them both.

Regards,
Jeff

@John A. Bilicki III Alert is just for demoing purpose. Real implementation can override the handler and send SVG as an attachement to client or save the document on the server.

I found the editor thanks to codedread and I think it’s pretty sweet. Granted I’m not really in to SVG like he is (my thing is XHTML) but I had a couple thoughts I wanted to share.

First I think that drawing and then exporting code is a great way for people to get in to coding SVG. When you can draw what you intend instead of guessing it with code it reduces the overall frustration of the learning process.

Also note that Gecko and Presto allow you to select the text in JavaScript alerts while Trident and WebKit do not. Granted this is a trivial issue as far as IE is concerned at the moment.

Still I really like the editor and I’m sure it’ll only get better with time. Good job!

Ok,
the main one that you mentioned is pretty cool and fast. It’s missing a lot of things yet, but seems to be in the right path.

Nice post.

@tiago cardoso I have, but I wanted pure SVG+JavaScript solution that works in all browsers even without Flash installed.
