Added image hand1.svg to shape hand1
Failed: (2) failed to add image hand1.svg to hlc

svg should always have the size 0, as they do not have a size. Multiple svg will be treated as an animation.

Ok!!, That worked

Initially I tried by removing the size as svg didn't use it, Then it had stdoull error then I checked some of the issues and some folks had defined pixel size along with svg and I thought that might be the reason. It wasn't clear from the README.
