Bridge 2017, still no SVG preview support.

Why is this still an ongoing issue? Why have SVG previews been disabled since CS4?

Yay. It works. Thanks. Hoping you guys can beat MSexplorer to the punch next time

I shake my head every-time I'm working on a design project that involves SVGs.

[SIGH]

I use ADOBE BRIDGE as my 'bridge' between applications. How is it that we can still not preview SVGs within Bridge...? I would suggest Adobe (Bridge) technical team need to view this as mission critical soon because for me it's becoming a dealbreaker. The vector SVG file format is fast becoming the go to format for logos/icons/images on websites... being unable to view them in Bridge is SO SO frustrating. How hard can it be? You can render them in browsers / across old versions of MS explorer even... within finder etc but not a piece of software that's SOUL purpose is to help bridge the gap between applications.

WHEN WILL THIS UPDATE HAPPEN?... on behalf of all graphic designers.

The latest release of Bridge now includes SVG preview support - have you updated?

Having looked again, it appears I need to edit all the SVGs in order for them to appear... XMP compatibility etc.

Here's a useful link for anyone (like me) who still sees no preview - SVG Thumbnail Previews in Adobe Bridge – Catspaw Dynamics

So I now have to open the hundreds of SVGs I have saved and edit each one so they appear.... not great is it?

Hi Fieldinspired​,

You need to select the SVG files, do a right click, and select "Purge Cache for Selection". This will regenerate the preview/thumbnail for SVG files.

thanks,

You sir... are a legend.

Thanks everyone - so glad I can see my SVGs!!!!!

Glad it was just the cache!

This is a really useful tool for cleaning up/optimising SVG output:
