Can we use SVGs for icons as well ? They are more HiDPI friendly, right ?

from scribus-indigo.

Good idea. To achieve it we can modifiy the iconmanager.cpp and load SVG's via:

http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/qsvgrenderer.html

QSvgRenderer svgRenderer( somesvgfile );
QPixmap pix( svgRenderer.defaultSize() ); // scale factor has to be applied
QPainter pixPainter( &pix );
svgRenderer.render( &pixPainter );

Based on this 'pix' Pixmap we can generate new QIcons with enabled / disabled states (as I used it for my themes). Based on screen type we can set a scale factor by generating the new QPixmaps.

I will make some tests to check it out.

But one hint at this point. We have to check if we can use the same svg file for 16px* icons and 32px* icons because of level of details. Maybe we still would need two different versions. (16px* and grater than 16px*).

*) pixel sizes demonstrate the relative scaling between icons.

It is simplier as expected. Qpixmap can load nativly a SVG file. I have made a test with pages panel icon here: a878962

Bad thing of using SVG files is the file size. Regular png icon need ca 300 byte, SVG icon need 3,5KB
In latest commit there is still a scale factor missing to render the icon in right size.

My idea would be to set a normal render size by loading of any icon. Based on screen type it can by multiplied by 2.

@luzpaz do we have svg files for all used Scribus icons? If yes I can make some more tests for icons in different sizes (16px, 22px, 32px etc.)
