The .svg can be inserted from the outside and behaves correctly. It cannot be inserted from within Collabora Writer - which only displays .png. Why?

Hey @LeHarry, thanks for the question. 🙂

Sounds like a great enhancement request:

- **Insert \> Image** should support SVG

Q1. Do you have a Github account?

- Could you submit this enhancement request to the [“Collabora Online” Github page](https://github.com/CollaboraOnline/online/issues)?

If not, that’s okay. Just let me know and then I can submit one on your behalf.

Would also be helpful if you:

- Share a sample SVG image + an ODT file with the SVG inside.
- Give the exact **Help \> About** info.
  - This will be your exact Collabora Online version info.

- Give you Nextcloud version / richdocuments info too.

This will help making it easier for devs to test+debug+potentially add this feature. 🙂
