Add SVG support to uploading icons

Workaround by Gerry: (http://blog.wakoopa.com/2009/05/13/wa...)

For now anybody wishing to add icons for apps can do this...

First locate where your icons are stored, for me everything is under /usr/share/icons/ and I can just do a search from there for the right icon using the application name.

Install Imagemagick:
sudo aptitude install imagemagick

From the folder containing all the svg files you can convert all the icons in that folder to 48×48 pngs using this:
sudo mogrify -resize x48 -format png *.svg

Move the files to a PNG folder:
sudo mkdir png
sudo mv *.png png

Depending on your situation, adding “sudo” may not be necessary for you. Credit for most of these details goes to this poster:

(although ignore the posts below it as they are two years old and no longer valid, the convert process now appears to be flawless)
