From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Why not export them rather than requiring people to install Inkscape just to view the files?
my brother in christ, SVG is a universal vector format
I'll rephrase. Why require an editor? The most common viewers of SVG do not support layers.
Just open it in your webbrowser, even most image viewers (I think including eog and xviewer) can open them as images.
Inkscape isn’t necessary. Any app that can open SVG files should work.

I suppose that I’m just too lazy after spending tens of hours locating 71 different high resolution logo files, a bunch of different word marks, researching and installing various typefaces, creating layers, groups, precisely aligning and resizing stuff 71 different times, converting all the text into outlines, hiding all the layers, creating a repository, uploading to GitHub, and then offering it to anyone for free.
That's what I was questioning. Why do do the work but then not make it accessible?
It's a similar thought to this topic: https://lemmy.world/post/3179113
It IS accessible. SVG is a standard format that can be opened by any number of different programs across multiple operating systems.
Just because you chose not to install one of those programs is not my problem.
I don’t get mad when I need to open a pdf but I don’t have a pdf reader. I install a fucking pdf reader.
Get off of your horse, dude.
Remind me and I could probably fix separate files for every icon. Shouldn't be too bad with slices in Affinity Designer.
Edit: I opened a pull request.
Perfect!
What image viewer are you using? Both Gwenview and Loupe display Inkscape Layers flawlessly for me
