Obsolete due to MS PowerToys

Microsoft's PowerToys offer the same feature, which makes this repository kinda unnecessary to use.

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for sharing this, I really appreciate it. It contains exactly what I've wanted for years, and a bit more. :)

This is a duplicate of #84 so I'd suggest to close this as duplicate.

For a "recent" MS system that will likely be the way to go, but only there:

Requirements

Windows 11 or Windows 10 v1903 (18362) or newer.

.NET Core 3.1.20 Desktop Runtime or a newer 3.1.x runtime. The installer will handle this if not present.

If you don't want (or can't) have .NET Core installed or use an older OS (possibly also if you use ReactOS), then Svg See is the way to go - but that is definitely only a minority of users.

BTW: Can anyone report if Windows 11 still has no SVG preview shipped?

@GitMensch On Windows 11 Pro 64bits and without installing svg-explorer-extension, and with a system folder containing several svg files and the preview enabled in the explorer options, the svg files are only shown as you can see in the image below

I tried getting Power Toys (v 0.60.1-x64) to work for a few days and just couldn't get it working. This works immediately, but must re-run the installer after a Windows reboot.

Same here. I disabled the PowerToys option and did what you suggested.
Works Great. Thank you. 👍

The option in PowerToys has a bug where it always displays a white background on all SVGs. This extension does not, which is why I installed it.

Backlink to PowerToys issue about that: microsoft/PowerToys#18431

I find that the PowerToys preview has serious performance issues for me, it just hangs a most of the time with the loading bar never finishing.

Which is why I installed this which works perfectly.
