Using Openclipart

[subhamay]

I am on OO2.3 on WinXPSP2 . I have recently downloaded the zip folder of svg files from Openclipart but how can I add them in my Gallery and use them in OO2.3 ? Please help.

OOo gallery does not yet support the SVG format.

For supported formats:

• Unzip the clipart archive
• Open the gallery and click New Theme.
• Give it a name and select the Files tab
• Click Find Files and browse to the directory with the cliparts. All files in that directory and its subdirectories will be listed.
• Click Add All to add all of those cliparts to the new theme.

Sad to know that svg is not supported.
Thanx for the help

SVG is supported through an extension: SVG Import.

Great to know

SVG is supported through an extension: SVG Import.

Somehow I missed it.
Happy to be back in the Open(Source)Office world

I'm also looking to the best way to include a clipart gallery...trying this method only imports hundreds/thousands of images, but "unsorted"
Is there a way to get "theme/subthemes" so that the stored images have some form of recursive file structure?

Thanks,
Adam.
