Hi all,

We have a symbol library of our own in SVG (images are generated on a Mac) and and Ignition 7.5.3 on a Windows PC.  
When using the Designer on a PC, I can import the SVG (rename enclosed file to pump.svg) by drag-and-drop with no problem.  
When using the Designer on a Mac (from the same gateway), I have the following error :

Well it’s at least repeatable on my Mac 🙂 We’ll look into it…

This is fixed for 7.5.4.
