Description

Created attachment 7575 Contains an SVG file with a linked image relative to itself(to the svg file)

Just this, tried in other programs:

  • Inkscape 0.92+ is able to display it
  • Chrome is able to display it
  • Firefox is able to display it

The bug also affects Thunar, as it is unable to display SVGs containing linked images. Embedding images as base64 strings is not a solution, it makes the SVG explode and it works only when one can control SVG creation, which is not the case for most users. What do you think ?
