1166386 - Allow svg icons

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox Graveyard :: Webapp Runtime, defect)

Description

Attachment: test_case.zip

It looks like we don't support .svg icons for desktop webappRT, at least on OSX.  In 1152597, I'm looking to use a .svg as an icon (since I can create a 512px x 512px that's significantly smaller in bytes than a bitmap), but it looks like we don't support .svg files on desktop.

Do we support SVG in FxOS?

Yes, I tried my attached test case on 1.3.  It works.

It looks like we can use `qlmanage` [0] instead of `sips` [1] on OSX:

$ qlmanage -t -s 512 -o . 512.svg
$ ls
512.svg.png 512.svg
$ du -h 512.svg.png 512.svg
8.0K	512.svg.png
4.0K	512.svg
$ man 1 qlmanage
qlmanage -- Quick Look Server debug and management tool
...

Or rather than instead of, we would preprocess the svg icon with qlmanage, then run sips on it.

Per bug 1238079, we're going to disable the desktop web runtime and remove it from the codebase, so we won't fix these bugs in it.
