Question to *.svg files

[herb]

Hello Phil,

I am working with Exiftool 12.33 on a Windows 10 system.

Retesting my application with various fileformats I also used some *.svg files (found in internet):

For the (attached) small SVG-file Exiftool displays e.g. the "path d=..." items and also the "rect fill=..." items as follows

Code Select Expand

---- XMP ----
Svg Height                      : 512
Svg View Box                    : 0 0 64 64
Svg Width                       : 512
Svg Xmlns                       : http://www.w3.org/2000/svg
Svg Rect Fill                   : #d8d7da
...
Svg Path D                      : m11 59h38a2.006 2.006 0 0 0 2-2v-50h-2v48a2.006 2.006 0 0 1 -2 2h-36z
Svg Path Fill                   : #c6c5ca
...

But for file sample_5184×3456.svg it does not display "path d=..." items and others.
Therefore it displays e.g. ImageWidth and others, which is not displayed for the small file.

Code Select Expand

---- SVG ----
SVG Version                     : 1.0
Xmlns                           : http://www.w3.org/2000/svg
Image Width                     : 5184.000000pt

Why is the output so different for these 2 files.
Please have a look into both attached files.

On the other hand: Are "path d=..." items metadata or are they data of the image itself.
I think they are no metadata. Should they be displayed?

Thanks in advance
Best regards
herb

Hi Herb,

Thanks for this report.  ExifTool wasn't properly treating the small file as SVG.

I have just released ExifTool 12.34 which fixes this issue.
