Hi All,

Is there still any sense in keeping our support for SVG JAR files? As I understand it, this is an obsolete StarOffice file archive format that has since been removed from LibreOffice/OpenOffice.

In fact, as far as I can tell Inkscape itself does not support these archives... only Inkview does. We no longer even provide an explicit option in our build system to support InkJar.

Is it OK for me to go ahead and remove support, or does anyone know of a reason we still need this?

I think it should be ok to remove. I remember when it was added; I think we had visions of it being used in ways that never quite materialized. Ted Gould would be worth pinging on this.
