More of a feature request than a bug.. But it's fairly common to see application entries where the only defined icon is an svg -- and that trend will probably continue to increase as high(er) resolution displays become more common, more quickly.

Anyway, It'd be nice if the steam client would support SVG icons for non-steam games (or really.. even for steam games). Presently it only seems like it supports tga and png.

I realize the issue is complicated by the fact that both libsvg and librsvg are GPLed, NetSurf has 'libsvgtiny' which is MIT licensed and actively maintained -- it may be worth looking into.

Maybe my grandchildren will be able to use SVGs 🙏
