Svg files for SL360 on the roadmap?
Hi, wonder if and when you are planning to let SL360 support svg images?

Adding my bump here. We need direct, easy import of SVG images. Saving the image into an PPT and then importing the PPT is a hassle.
Thanks, Joshua. You're in the right place to be notified of any additional updates in the future. We are still tracking this request.
In addition, the PPT method is only for the simplest of images--from my testing, more complex images will often yield poor results. And sometimes PowerPoint's import will cause translation issues itself that get "inherited" when brought into SL360.
At best, what we have now is a fair but inadequate "band-aid."
Direct SVG import with perfect results from the original SVG is needed--badly. ASAP. Yesterday if possible. ;) :)
Hi Gerry,
I have a quick question for you. I was also on the bandwagon for this update, and now that they have incorporated it, my workload has doubled! I used to use the workaround with PPT and got very good at it. Now I cannot use that method any longer, and all SVGs come in as un-manipulatable (sorry for that word!) objects! I cannot change colors, break them apart, or anything that I could do before with a PPT > SL SVG. Any ideas on what I can do? Do you know any way to get these images to be changeable once in SL? Any ideas welcomed!
Thanks,
Reina
Thing to remember here is that you are bringing an svg into PowerPoint, which then converts it to a PowerPoint editable graphic, which you then can recolor, then save out as a png for SL360. So the SVG is not being imported into SL360 but you are using PowerPoint simply as an image editor and convertor. If you use illustrator on a daily basis then using PowerPoint is pointless. Using an SVG directly in SL360 would mean resizing in the slide and no loss of quality at any size or resolution. Once in SL360 you cannot edit the png files colors.
Any updates on this yet? We're desperately needing this feature!
Nothing yet . . . :(
My hope is that if we can keep the thread alive, and keep it in their line of sight, we might actually get this basic, necessary feature in the nearer future. Since the squeaky wheel gets the grease, I am more than happy to squeak!
Send in a feature request and have anyone else who would like the feature to do so also. The more honest voices the better. Include a sentence or two business case. Then pray :)
Let's see, Captivate has had this for what, three or four years already . . . ?
Feature request submitted ;-)
Fingers crossedFeature request submitted. Fingers crossed our requests are heard and they move forward with this ASAP!

Another bump for SVG support. It's sorely needed. Some of my clients are really picky to keep their branding/logos as vectors.
We are moving towards a requirement that all non-photo images are SVG, so we are in need of this support ASAP otherwise we may have to make the decision to use different software to meet our needs.
Is there any news on this? Not having this feature is unacceptable at this stage when it's been a request since the original version of storyline. Importing it in from a powerpoint slide is not an acceptable solution when we are mass producing SVG's from Illustrator.
