Opera SVG Viewer widget

, ,

Since opera announced that they are going to untie widgets from the browser, I've realized the great potential of widgets. So i decided to try to make my first widget - SVG Viewer. Since Adobe Bridge CS4 doesn't display svg any longer I feel a strong need to have an application to view multiple svg's at once. And since Opera's SVG implementation is the best out there i think widgets is the best platform for such an application.

Known issues:
  • Opera doesn't display files without the xml prolog, you can edit files manualy to add
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
    at the very beginning of the file.
  • SVGZ files are not rendered. Waiting for opera to fix this bug.
  • Images with width and height set but without viewBox attribute get cut off
  • Do not attempt to view too many files at once (more than 10, especially animated/scripted/complex), or opera could freeze


I'm not really experienced in programming and in javascript particularly, so the progress is rather slow, but here i offer to try out an alpha version of my widget.

Feedback is welcome!
