Adding new svg to the images.nss

[Assimilator-X]

Anyone knows how to convert a 16x16 svg so i can add it to the images.nss file to reference it from?
If i try to use an svg file as menu icon it does not appear, if i am to use a built in then its working also a .png file working too.

Its just a guess, but maybe the spec of svg you are trying to use is not supported by plutosvg.
Here is an example of Vim Devicon:

By the way, image declaration can be made outside of image.nss too, like standard variables.

Interesting. I will keep trying. So far i had no luck with Affinity Designer 2 or Inkscape. I have left Adobe behind years ago. I could however attach a small .png as an icon. But it would be ideal if i can create my own images.nss but i cannot recognize this encoding that is in the images.nss anyway.

Thank you.

Thank you RubicBG, I am one of those, who keeps away from any social media sites for good reason.

I understand you completely - I'm the same. I made an exception only because of Nilesoft Shell. I will make a detailed description after the holidays so that it is useful for everyone and I will share it
