vscode-svgviewer SVG preview doesn't work

SVG preview doesn't work

Open yantakus opened this issue 7 years ago • 12 comments

When I press Alt+S O or choose SVG Viewer: View SVG from the command palette nothing happens.

The filetype is XML. Extension version: 1.3.0. VS Code version: 1.8.1.

@yantakus

nothing happens.

Have you not received an error message ? (developper tool or vscode standard message) Don't open a preview window?

Mine also doesn't work no errors when I use the command. I did see an error later saying no svg inactive workspace. Super delayed.

On Ubuntu I get the message: "Active editor doesn't show a SVG document - no properties to preview." I am testing with an SVG file that I found in this repository:

@abudaan The condition in which the message is displayed is when languageId is not xml or the end of the file does not end with "</ svg>". Has that file been saved already?

Thanks for your reply; meanwhile I did a clean install of Xubuntu 17.04, vscode and your plugin and it works like a charm now! I guess my old installation was corrupted.

Does not work for me either. there is no option in the context menu the keyboard method does not work and when I use the command line to open the preview the image I see is not my SVG but something resembling a miniature postage stamp. There are no error messages at all.
