Hey Mike, I found a program that should be able to import .ai files and .ps and maybe even .eps files and then convert them to .svg. The program is multi-platform, but it looks like that several import features are missing from the windows version. Can you download the Linux version and see if you can indeed import .ai files? If so we should be set! | Hey Mike, I found a program that should be able to import .ai files and .ps and maybe even .eps files and then convert them to .svg.

Timezone
I tweaked the timezone settings while I was at it, everything should be in Pacific Time right now (we're a California club after all, even if our servers are in Texas).

Logo Graphics
Hey Mike, look at the discussion @ Image:MNA_Logo_Wiki.gif. Also, can you edit the LocalSettings.php file line:
$wgFileExtensions = array( 'png', 'gif', 'jpg', 'jpeg', 'ogg' );
So that it will include
- ".ai" - Adobe Illustrator
- ".FH8" - Freehand 8
- ".wmf" - Windows Meta File (a simple pathbased image format, good for clipart)
- ".swf" - I've got the logos in Flash format too!

Alright, Ben. Done. Just be careful and don't take ALL our webspace just with MNA logos. I only gave this domain 250M, and that includes the main library site as well.

These files are tiny... shouldn't be any problem at all. Here, uploaded the new version. Not perfect, but a lot better. I may upload a full sized later.

Ah man, "*.FH8" still isn't working... can you give that a look? --BenLeinweber
And for "*.WMF" I got the following error: Upload file From MinnaHistoryWiki Jump to: navigation, search Upload warning ".application/x-msmetafile" is not a recommended image file format. --BenLeinweber
