SVG Workflow for Designers
- josephlord 13y agoDoes anyone know a good tool to go from an SVG to all the app icon sizes? I found a couple of non vector tools in that space but nothing for when you can start with the SVG.
- boothead 13y agoDo you mean automatically? Inkscape can certainly save an svg to different sized outputs. Perhaps there's a plugin for this use case (Inkscape is scriptable with python)
- josephlord 13y agoI do use Inkscape although I find it a bit clumsy particularly in output. May look at scripting it one day. I will have a look for plugins. I was also disappointed that the latest version isn't built for OS X and while there are instructions to build it without using X they didn't work first time and I didn't have all day to hack on it.

- nmcfarl 13y agoThis is a horrible, convoluted workflow - with good reasons for being that way. Like many I’ve seen graphic designers engage in. Their tools suck, badly, and are just letting them down. I know the difficulty of replacing those tools is high - but man it needs to be done.
- PixelCut 13y agoOur drawing app WebCode (http://www.webcodeapp.com http://www.webcodeapp.com) instantly generates nice and readable SVG code from your drawings. It also outputs JavaScript HTML5 Canvas code and HTML+CSS code.
- jianshen 13y agoTangentially, are there any open source alternatives that mimic the "Save for web" functionality of the Adobe products? I feel like this black box functionality has made Adobe products almost mandatory for web designers and I'd like to see innovation in this area. I'd love to see a tool that better takes into account color space issues with varying monitors (PC vs Mac) right from the start.
