Index: SVG, PS and EPS Vector Graphics Support #2207

Description

@djtechonline

I would like to request that SVG support be added to photoprism. Here is my use-case scenario:

One of my hobbies is crafting with vinyl cutting machines (such as Cricut, Silhouette etc.) to make signs, t-shirts, etc. Most of the graphics files I use are vector-based because they need to scale cleanly at various sizes. Most have been purchased from online resources (ie: creativefabrica.com, etsy.com, etc.) or designed in programs such as Adobe Illustrator. As my image library increases in size, I find it increasingly difficult to navigate through my filesystem (I'm on a Mac) to find and preview these images. Thankfully, the Mac allows me to preview the files natively, however there is no real way to tag and manage the thousands of images I have in my collection.

I have searched high and low for an image gallery that would support svg images but I have not yet found anything that can do this. This is where a program like Photoprism would come into play, as it can already manage and catalog other image types and do it very well. Adding support for svg files would allow me to categorize, filter and search my growing library of images and make it much easier to find the images I need. Given that Photoprism is a modern application and that all modern-day browsers have native svg support as well, I don't think it would be too difficult to add this.

I hope this request gets considered into becoming a standard feature of the app in the near future.
