SVG Icons auf iOS und Android

[SossenSystems]

Icons werden nicht Ordnungsgemäß wie auf dem Desktop PC (aktuellste Versionen Windows, Linux und Co.) angezeigt.
Ich bitte das Entwickler Team ein Auge drauf zu Verwerfen.
Maybe any SVG problems?

Not a bug.

iOS Client doesn't support them (will not in near future).
Android supports some types (more types may be added).

Would it be possible for you guys to use something like SVGKit or SwiftSVG on iOS to display SVG icons? I know UIImage doesn't support them, but there seem to be several open-source solutions for this problem.

Also, would it be possible for you to provide more information about what types of SVG icons Android supports? I'm trying to upgrade the icons on my server from PNG to SVG (woo, high-DPI displays), and some of the icons don't appear on Android. We haven't been able to figure exactly what makes a particular SVG image not work yet, and would appreciate some help.

I will forward your iOS suggestions, but can not promise that one of these will be implemented in future.
On Android we use this AndroidSVG libary. There you find the supported SVG formats.

Fantastic, thanks for your help!

Custom icons are not displayed. At first I was looking into file transfer issues, but that dies not appear to be the issue. Tested with another server that also has working file transfer and updated custom icons are working in the desktop client, but not the Android client.

Phone is Pixel 3 XL Android 9 (build PQ2A.190405.003). Phone is on the same network as server and firewall is disabled.

I noticed that on one the servers I was testing on the custom icon for the server was being displayed, but when I changed it the icon became blank. If I set the icon back to the one it was it works again. On the other server I was testing with, one not on local network, I uploaded a new icon, set it to the server and the Android client still didn't display it, as normal desktop client did.

I can not reproduce this on a server in LAN or hosted outside my network.

Could it be that the broken icon(s) use the SVG format?
Or does the server has a custom file transfer IP or port set instead?

[Screech]

I think SVG is very likely as I started using those when support was added. Ports are standard and on the same IP as voice.

And those did work with older client?
Can not imagine which change in this beta did change anything here.

I can not say that they did work. Not payed that close attention to everything and using the Android client is not my norm. But this week I'm working a weird schedule so I'm using the client on my work server and noticed the missing icons. Even more interesting is I was testing with a bunch of the icons after you asked about SVG and found that some leave a "hole" (empty space where I should see the icon) in the icons that are about the width expected for the icon while others to not (spacing looks like an icon is not set at all).

That is a known issue but the main problem is that not all SVG formats are supported.

The client prepares the space where the image should be shown but fails to load it. So the space is there and remains.

We try to hold the libraries for SVG format updated on Android but can't promise that all SVGs that would work on pc client will work on mobile client.

Well, if a list of the supported SVG features between desktop and mobile could be made perhaps I could adjust them in inkscape or such and get them working with no real visual change.

I merged out threads and here is the library if you need the supported formats.
