Bugfix: browser lockup on image export


Posted on Jul 29, 2015 by Helpful Cat

I don't know how common it is, but some of my users reported their browsers locking up when the base64 string was being sent/rendered to the export window. As a work-around, I've made a simple extension so the browser forces the user to download the image file instead of seeing it in the export window. This uses download.js by Dan Davis.

Procedure: 1. Download this javascript file: http://pastebin.com/tfh8JVX1 2. Save it as 'ext-force_download.js' to your {svg-edit directory}\extensions 3. Open {svg-edit directory}\svg-edit.js 4. Add the 'ext-force_download.js' to curConfig.extensions

Enjoy.

If I've made any typos, please let me know!
