optional backend for SVG drawing?

[paskn]

Hi!

Is it possible to use something else for drawing SVG? Or not drawing it at all?

org-timeblock shows me the current date and an empty buffer. It reports no error with toggle-debug-on-error. I've looked at my ImageMagick configuration and how to fix it. Could not find a quick solution and decided to ask here for a tip.

Here's what org-timeblock puts in the message buffer:

Type C-c C-c or C-c C-x to view the image as text or hex.
ImageMagick error: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `SVG' @ error/blob.c/BlobToImage/460 [9 times]
QuitImageMagick error: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `SVG' @ error/blob.c/BlobToImage/460
ImageMagick error: NoDecodeDelegateForThisImageFormat `SVG' @ error/blob.c/BlobToImage/460

My Emacs build:

(system-configuration-features)
"ACL GIF GLIB GMP GNUTLS IMAGEMAGICK JPEG JSON LCMS2 LIBXML2 MODULES NATIVE_COMP NOTIFY KQUEUE NS PDUMPER PNG RSVG THREADS TIFF TOOLKIT_SCROLL_BARS XIM ZLIB"

Thanks!

So, the problem is:
On macOS, Emacs is built with ImageMagick support, but ImageMagick is not built with SVG support. The likely reason for the latter is that you installed ImageMagick with Homebrew.

To solve it, you might attempt compiling ImageMagick from source. But this is a dependency nightmare on macOS, as I learned. A simpler solution is to use mac ports:

sudo port install ImageMagick +rsvg
