A collection of extensions tools for SVG files, integrated into Microsoft Windows Explorer (Vista, 7, 8, 10 and 11):
-
A Preview handler which allows you to see the SVG image and text without open it, in the "Preview Panel".
-
A Thumbnail handler which allows you to see the SVG image into Windows Explorer.
-
An SVG-XML Text Editor to manually edit and preview the text of SVG files.
Given the increasing popularity of vector images (SVG) on the web, the need for a preview tool that integrates with Windows file explorer has become apparent, thus inspiring the idea that gave rise to this program.
SVG Shell Extensions is the solution proposed by Ethea for programmers and designers who daily work with SVG images on the Windows platform. It allows to show the SVG files from the preview panel where it offers additional functions and also through thumbnails directly on the file icons and is also integrated into the windows context menu to make some practical functions more accessible.
A text editor that allows to see the changes in real time in the SVG images preview.
The use of SVG Text Editor lies in being able to apply changes in the colors to optimize the harmony, as well as modify the other attributes values of the elements, either to simplify them and reduce the size of the file or even to learn how the data attribute (d) works in a path. It also has the main settings and functionalities that have made IDEs (Integrated development environment) so popular.

Look at this short video (1'47'') how to download, setup and use it:
For a clean Setup close all the windows explorer instances which have the preview handler active or the preview handler was used (remember the dll remains in memory until the windows explorer was closed).
