I noticed when using an image component to set a icon and dropped in an .svg then it throws an error:

**Parse error : syntax error, unexpected identifier “version”** in /private/var/folders/57/nnccdyq14tnfjwt684rwg55c0000gn/T/com.realmacsoftware.rapidweaverelements/RapidWeaver/2989/RWDocumentPagePreview/document-E45B4360-E4A3-45B2-81B1-F27550C25750/index.php on line 21

using this in template: `bg-[url('{{imagebg}}')]`

Yeah, we know about this. The image component should only accept images (not SVG’s).

We have a specific SVG component that should be used, but please note that is also a work in-progress so you might hit issues there too.

We’re in the process of massively reworking ALL our components… stay tuned.

Oh, noticed there is no dev component call for svg - is the call “vector”: {} or something sim? I know it may not work, but I’m trying to rough setup controls so it’s easier to tweak down the road.

it’s not finalised yet, but you will be able to specify which types of resources the `resource` control accepts. It will look something along these lines:

```json
resource: {
    accepts: ['svg']
}

```
