List of Images missing SVG tagged images

[clapierre]

Occurs in both
Ace CL 1.1.1
Ace GUI 1.1.2

When a JPG/PNG image is wrapped inside a SVG tag the image does not appear in the list of images tab.

Here is an example one publisher we are reviewing did this:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 1400 1600" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <image height="1600" width="1400" xlink:href="image/Cover.jpg"></image>
</svg>

Hello Charles.

I believe the issue exists in v1.2.1 (now officially published to NPM under the latest release tag https://www.npmjs.com/package/@daisy/ace/v/latest )

Would you be so kind as to try the latest version of Ace CLI? The Ace App v1.1.3 will be deployed within the coming hours, we are just finalising code-signing now.

Hi @danielweck Just upgraded the Command Line version to v1.2.1 and tested the same EPUB the image was not present in the list of images.

Just verified with latest Ace GUI 1.1.3 this morning that the SVG wrapped PNG does not show up in the images tab.

I wrote these tests to check edge cases (don't mind the bizarre roles and text, this is just to verify that the parser picks-up SVG namespaces, self-closing elements, title attribute in the parent SVG element, title element in the image child, ARIA described-by, all with text normalization):

<svg role="presentation" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 1400 1600" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <image height="1600" width="1400" xlink:href="./image_001.jpg">
        <title>
            title    alt1  
        </title>
    </image>
</svg>

<vec:svg title="title alt2" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 1400 1600" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
    <vec:image height="1600" width="1400" xlink:href="./image_002.jpg"></vec:image>
</vec:svg>

<svg role="img" aria-describedby="txt" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" height="100%" preserveAspectRatio="xMidYMid meet" version="1.1" viewBox="0 0 1400 1600" width="100%" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"><image height="1600" width="1400" xlink:href="./image_003.jpg" /></svg>

@danielweck what version would this be I then I assume post 1.1.3 / 1.2.1?

[danielweck]

if it's urgent I can relatively easily publish an official update to Ace CLI.
However the process of releasing Ace App installers is quite time consuming, so I would recommend using the alpha builds which are automatically generated by the continuous integration server

[clapierre]

Its not urgent, but would be nice if you would consider the small improvement to the # of items shown in the tabs and increase them from the default 10 to at least 50 or 100 or show everything like you do with images., I am constantly having to increase that # of metadata issues / violations etc. ie. issue #342.

That is my biggest pet peeve at the moment ;)

[clapierre]

Verified that 1.2.2 does pull out the svg wrapped png images now!
Thanks

[danielweck]

Thank you for the heads-up Charles.

For your information, I have just published Ace CLI 1.2.2.
The latest automated "alpha" build of Ace App 1.1.4 now includes Ace 1.2.2.
