Thanks, Arcane it worked perfectly. Do you know of any
similar extension
for JPGs and other bitmap image formats as my Wiki is having similar
problems with these image formats too?
PS I've made some inquiries about the Jmol extension with the author
(NicoV) mentioning your and my difficulties (
If you just need quick and dirty clientside SVG
rendering, try this
extension:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:NativeSvgHandler
Even if you don't have any other SVG renderer enabled, it pipes the
output through your browser's SVG renderer as a middleman, which, unless
you have a browser that belongs in a museum, will work fine 100% of the
time.

Subject: [MediaWiki-l] Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing
Hi,
I'd like to know how I can use Inkscape for SVG thumbnailing on my
Windows
7 OS with a MediaWiki installation.
Inkscape's files are located at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Inkscape. My efforts to date (mostly based on
Manual:$wgSVGConverters and other MediaWiki manual pages) have failed.
Currently my LocalSettings.php file's SVG-related settings are:
# Image Converter
> $wgSVGConverter = 'Inkscape';
> $wgSVGConverters = array(
> 'Inkscape' => '"$path/inkscape.exe" -z -w $width -f
$input -e
$output',
);
# Image converter path
$wgSVGConverterPath = '/Program Files (x86)/Inkscape';
This gives the following error (which appears in the thumbnail's place):
Error creating thumbnail: '""'
is not recognized as an internal or
external command,
operable program or batch file.
The reason I'd like Inkscape as my SVG thumbnailer in particular is
because
I sometimes use SVGs that are only correctly
rendered by Inkscape (I
know
that Wikia's thumbnailer (whatever it might
be) frequently makes
rendering
errors with these SVGs, e.g., see
http://health-and-medicine.wikia.com/wiki/File:Symptoms_of_Hodgkin_lymphoma…
and all the black spots that appear in it.
Thanks for your time,
Brenton
