When dropping an svg file, it get renamed and edited in a way that break my svg; Labels are bigger and moved, lines are removed. As my svg images are trees, it is a problem to have all the edges removed. How to drop the svg files without the 'cleaning' ? Or canyou remove the feature ?

What's this 'after hours' thing you speak of? ;)

Could you please send me the image? Also: is what you are seeing the thumbnail that's being created for the article from the SVG you've uploaded? ie is the original SVG being uploaded OK, but a second image being created that's cropped?

The time you answered look very late Friday evening. :) Or did I miscalculated the time lag to Toronto ?

No - you were correct. I was just joking about the concept of "after hours". It's been a long time since I knew what that meant ;)

Just curious. Did you found the problem ? Can expect some correction with WE update ?

I'm so sorry for taking so long - I got completely sidetracked by another issue. Just to clarify something: you say the images are being cropped. Is this only for the thumbnail that's generated, or is this for all SVG images in the article? I'm guessing it's for all images.

It is for every svg image. When dropped, the image comes to the list of images as 'cleaned' ImageName.svg comes as ImageName.cleaned.svg

Ah. I now understand. What's happening is we clean SVG, since SVG can contain potential security exploits. What I'll need to do is go through your SVG images and add to our whitelist anything in your images that is safe and that's missing. Looking into this now.

Thank you for your concern. For information: the SVG have been generated by yEd from yWorks. it's a graph editor. yWorks - Editors Overview[^]

I've found and fixed the issue for your images by adding the missing attributes to our whitelist. My concern is there may be many more attributes, some standard, some non-standard, that may appear in future SVG images that will tigger a clean-up. Your images seem to be displaying fine now (in local debug) but we'll just have to keep an eye on things. If you see future images being cleaned let us know and we can manually inspect and adjust. The fix will be deployed soon.
