AndyMac Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 I am currently using Inkspace to make small SVG artefacts for software development (in a third party ecosystem) and the tools expect some metadata (at minimum the title) to be preset to accept the SVG files. I am finding Designer v2 to be easier to use and to produce as nice SVG exports (in some ways nicer as it deals with bounding box transforms better) BUT it does not seem to offer ANY way to add the required metadata. Am I simply not finding this, or is there no way to add metadata to Designer files (and for it to be exported), which seems an extraordinary omission if it is not there.

But as the title of the topic & the first post both mention, this is about adding metadata in AD, not AP.

loukash Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 It's an old thread, but for the record: Since SVG is a plain text XML format, you can always add any metadata (or anything else, for that matter) using any text editor. w3.org/TR/SVG2/struct.html#MetadataElement Quote MacBookAir 15": MacOS Ventura > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 16 > Affinity v2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
