Since, loading of SVG images are now possible with Hollywood 5.0, it would be nice, if snapshots could be saved as SVG, too.

I usually have to provide PDFs of my presentations. Currently, I do that by saving snapshots of my slides as PNGs and convert these to single PDF file. However, scaling of the pdf document is not possible then (or looks ugly otherwise). With SVG snapshots, this wouldn't be true anymore. Dunno, if this is easily possible. I have to admit, I have no clue about SVG

cheers, nexus

Um, how do you expect this to work? SVG is a vector format... the desktop screen is in pixels

Open an SVG with a text editor... you'll soon see why it's not possible
