    Error Uploading SVG image to Media Section

    I have some .svg images that I need to upload to the Media Section.  If I use the Drag & Drop Upload then the image is uploaded but it it treated as a media type of "File" and not "Image".  The image is uploaded to the media section, but it is not accessible via  @Model.Media("brandLogo", "umbracoFile") .

    This site is running Umbraco 6.1.6.

    If I create the Media item individually with a Media Type of "Image" and then us "Choose File" to upload the image I get the following error:

    Parameter is not valid.

    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. 

    Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Parameter is not valid.

    My umbracoSettings.config includes .svg as an image type:

     <imageFileTypes>jpeg,jpg,gif,bmp,png,tiff,tif,svg</imageFileTypes>

    I have checked my Mime Types.  Both IIS and my web.config specify this extension.  

      <staticContent>

          <remove fileExtension=".svg" />

          <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />

        </staticContent>

    Is there something else that needs to be done for svg images to work with Umbraco?

    Hi Guys

    I don't think that anyone has succeeded achieving this as media - Perhaps it would be a good idea to make a feature request for this at the issue tracker

    How are you going to use the .svg files? Is it for logos etc. or is it for content? Just wondering if it would be an absolute no go to upload as the "file" type as a workaround?

    I raised this as a bug, svg should be supported. http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-6008

    Agreed - But just wondering if uploading as File would be a possible workaround. I have not been using .SVG graphics in my Umbraco sites yet so just curious :) (Voted the issue btw).

    Jan, could you further explain 'uploading as File' please?

    Hi Chris

    Sure - If you go into the media section and right click on a folder you can choose to manually create a file item from the dropdown that appears - Now try uploading your .svg file.

    Also make sure to add the proper SVG mime type in your web.config static settings so you make sure that the server knows about the correct mime type for dealing with it.

    Hi Chris

    Hmm, does it work if you try uploading something else? Like a PDF, Word or Excel file?

    Just trying to figure out if it's for some reason failing when trying to upload certain file types or if it's a general issue.

    This issue is caused by having svg in the imageFileTypes list in umbracoSettings.config. Without svg in this list umbraco doesn't try creating a thumbnail from the avg and you're able to upload the image without error.

    Hi Chris

    Aaah, nice catch - Did not think about that even though it's mentioned that it was added in the first post.

    So the issue should probably be changed as well in regards to that it should be possible to have thumbnails of .svg file rather than it's an issue uploading .svg files if it has not already been done.

    In Umbraco 7.4 I was still getting the same error so in order to allow SVG files to be uploaded to media section you need to remove SVG from <disallowedUploadFiles> tag in UmbracoSettings.config file.

    Perfect!

    Perhaps someone from the Umbraco core team could comment on why it's disallowed in the first place? Seems strange to me that you'd want to disable something that's so commonplace now on the web these days.

    Hi,

    did anybody managed to solve this one?

    Looks like a catch 22 situation: in order to be pick SVG files with a Media Picker we must to add SVG to the imageFileTypes list, but adding SVG to the imageFileTypes list rise an error when uploading SVG files...

    How is this still an issue? Or is there any change?

    Surely a thumbnail could be created for an svg, or not generated and use the original file as the thumbnail view.
