1. Re: SVG Preview in Bridge CS4
LD Hills May 7, 2009 11:41 AM (in response to (Dalin))I too would like to see Bridge CS4 show previews of SVG files. I download clipart from Wikipedia (flags, emblems, logos...). They are mostly in SVG format.

darkhelmet1234 Oct 15, 2011 6:18 AM (in response to (Dalin))You got to be kidding me? No SVG preview is pure comedy. But if I open Illustrator, or better yet, Internet Explorer, betcha I get an SVG preview!
I just gotta know - why even use Bridge? It's slower than hand paddling up river in a boat (faster previews in the native app) and it can't preview half the common graphic extensions.
Flash is dead and buggy crapware and now Bridge proves to be useless bloatware.
Thanks Adobe engineers.

glange65 Nov 11, 2011 5:36 AM (in response to darkhelmet1234)Of course it's still broken. Adobe takes your cash, and produces products with major deficiencies. How is it possible...Adobe...that you created a suite of products that can open and export in the .svg format, but the Bridge (the one product that you designed to make opening, sorting, and transitioning picture files) can't preview these files? How stupid do you have to be?
And I love how responsive you've been to this...what, only two years and not even a reply?
Next software update, I'm going to CorelDraw (or some other program). I'm about done with Adobe products. Bitter? Absolutely.
Sorry to anyone else that got caught in the line of fire.

Next...

Mobius Strip Nov 11, 2011 10:54 AM (in response to glange65)Adobe is most likely getting out of the software business... or maybe just admitting that they're out of it. Look at the disgraceful state of Illustrator, riddled with major design defects and bugs since its inception, and never fixed. I run Corel Draw in a VM rather than waste one more hour on this POS. I've given it many chances, and every time I do I discover more craven stupidity in its design and more incompetence in its execution.
The sad fact is that there's no money or interest in high-complexity computer applications for the general public anymore. That's why Adobe has gotten away with peddling the same defective crap year after year. Writing competing applications for even one platform, let alone two, is a mountainous task that no one is going to take on today.
I wish there were a competent vector art program for the Mac, but there isn't. I've tried every one I can find. The closest I've found is Inkscape, which runs under X11. I love to see Freehand open-sourced.
