svg support for icon, comment image, etc..

Hello,

It appears that Alteryx does not accept .svg (or other vector image format) for icons (I think to custom macro icons), image in comment, etc...

I think that would be a great idea, especially to manage web integration and support of different resolutions.
here an example of a svg logo I made :
Logo_BD_Market_vectoriel.svg

As you can see you can zoom in/out without loose quality.

 

For reference, here is long blog post about why SVG is great : https://bumpsetcreative.com/10-reasons-the-image-format-svg-is-rocking-the-internet/

 

To sum it up :

1) SVGs are widely supported

 

2) SVGs are speedy

 

3) SVGs scale perfectly

 

 

4) SVGs are high resolution

 

5) SVGs can be styled through CSS

 

6) SVGs can be animated

 

7) SVGs can be rearranged easily

 

😎 SVGs support transparency

 

9) SVGs are great for readability

 

10) SVGs stand out

Just saying, as you can see here (https://github.com/biolab/orange3/pull/6444/commits/de963d21705cdf866d6a3f031f4286fe20b74968 ) even Orange Data Mining which is Open Source use svg for icons, etc..

And Alteryx still use matricial for that. Frankly, it would be simpler and faster to put all icons in svg and have the same in every Alteryx product.
