How to view SVG files thumbnail?!

When you are coding in a fast-paced work environment, every second counts! Well, not literally every second! We are not robots! But, time is precious. Moreover, it is really unnecessary to spend time on issues for which you are pretty sure there must be a piece-of-cake solution out there.

You may be agree that for almost every development project, we receive graphic assets from designers in which there are a bunch of SVG files. Well, if the default app to open the SVG files in your computer is set to a browser like Chrome, you are only able to view that browser icon in the folder! Nothing more!

It is frustrating since you know how useful the thumbnail view in windows explorer is: finding things at one glance!

What can we do?

I'm sure there are a lot of solutions to this on the internet (thanks god!). However, I 'm going to suggest the one I have found wonderful!

Go to the address below, download and run appropriate binary for your system:

That's it! No further actions required!
