SVG in Media Library?

James Jarrett asked on July 15, 2014 16:08

Does the Media Library support SVG files?

I added .svg to the Media Content allowed under the Settings tab and I was able to add the file to the Media Library. However I am getting a 404 error when I try to view the file. It occurred to me Media Library items are probably being saved as binary data and svg is text.

 Sorry, the editor stripped my sample

 <code> </handlers>
    <staticContent>
      <remove fileExtension=".woff" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />
      <remove fileExtension=".svg" />
      <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
    </staticContent> </code>

You can add SVG to the media library by adding the extension in the settings app, but they won't work with the media selector. Kentico doesn't set the proper mime type when serving a svg from the media library.
