I just listened to the most recent podcast and DanBen were ambiguous about whether the new RW7 has SVG support. I realize they’ll update this info on the next podcast but … this would be a really big improvement. If not included in RW7, could SVG be added soon thereafter (7.01 perhaps)? ---

This won’t be in RW 7.0, but I’ve added a ticket for 7.x 🙂 ---

@dan Thanks. This will be quite useful, especially when using a stack that requires drag/drop images and not warehoused images. Looking forward to all the other design-goodness in RW7. ---

**Hello RapidWeaver Team…** Would like to add to the request for RW7 SVG support. Looking at using [Foundry](http://foundry.elixirgraphics.com) and [UIKit](http://archetypon.net/uikit/) which I don’t believe have a way to link to the SVG file (RW term Warehousing). I currently own Foundation which does have this capability but having SVG support built into RapidWeaver seems like the better way to go for both developers and users. Kind Regards, Dave ---

Is this generic SVG usage in places where images are normally used now supported? ---

Hmm… still not. Well… RW guys you should get this done. However, there is a stack I can get SVGs into my page (at least). For SVG only stuff that is perfectly designed this works. Is there any way that I can use some SVG stuff and layer Text other things above it? How would this work? ---

Yes, there are stacks that will do what you want. But … I’m not sure if they require drag/drop (i.e. no SVGs). I don’t remember the names of stacks that do this, but one great place to peruse is Stacks4Stacks. I know they have at least one stack that will do as you describe. Will often provides options for warehousing images so SVGS are likely possible. Worth a look here: [https://stacks4stacks.com](https://stacks4stacks.com) ---

This one will the job do for you also, if the svg is stored in the resources area: > **[inStacks Software | Remote Image Stack - Warehouse images from resource area or...](https://instacks.com/remoteimagestack/)** > > Spend time building, not billing - with Paddle.com ---

The stacks4stack is named “GraphicStack” and I think “RemoteImageStack” is the same idea. While this works to get SVGs on my page where a stack can be used, it doesn’t work for stacks that require an image. Those stacks only accept graphic files. I don’t think this can be solved at the moment. ---

Any stack that offers warehousing option should allow you to put a SVG image in it. This is why a warehouse option on the stacks you choose is a good option, until it gets added into RW itself. ---

As @zeebe mentions any stack that uses warehousing, and that meets your conditions for text overlay above image, will do the job. I don’t know all the stacks that do this but a few do. Stacks4Stacks has free demos so you can check them out. Some that seem to broadly fit your criteria include: [https://stacks4stacks.com/bannerstack/](https://stacks4stacks.com/bannerstack/) [https://stacks4stacks.com/highlight/](https://stacks4stacks.com/highlight/) There may be others. And, of course, you can always tweak the original SVG so it has text and other stuff about it in your favorite SVG-friendly app. ---

I know, but that’s the problem: Only a few stacks support warehousing at the moment. ---

There are loads of SVG supporting stacks. All of the BWD stacks for instance support SVG images. Loads of the JW, S4S and inStacks stacks too. I stopped buying stacks that didn’t support SVG a long time ago. ---

You could possibly combine the [GraphicStack](https://stacks4stacks.com/graphicstack/) (which was originally developed for SVGs) with the [Layerz](https://rwextras.com/layerz/) stack. Download the free demo versions of both stacks and try them. It might come close to what you want; i.e. an SVG with other content layered over the top.
