    Hi, ALL,

    Is it possible to find out what format the SVG file was saved?

    Thank you.

    Hi, polygon,

    When I go "File->Document Properties... ->Format" it shows 16x16.

    I'm almost sure that not what I chose in the "File -> Save As" combo box in the bottom right corner...

    Thank you.

    And 16x16 (px?) is not right? I donยดt understand. Iยดm drawing all my icons (and I made thousands of it as an "Icon-forger") in original page size and can export in pixel size to whatever I want when bitmaps are required - and usually thatยดs what is needed.

    Hi,

    In the screenshot attached there is File Save As dialog. In the bottom right corner of that dialog there is a combo box.

    Right now it has text "Optimised SVG"

    ย 

    How fo I know if that is the format the file was originally saved?

    ย 

    Thank you.

    I would probably select the oldest file and assume that it is the original. If you open files with a text editor you can see the difference between the various SVG file formats:
