This prerelease introduces a lot of quality of life changes and bugfixes, as well as a new optional layout area that lets you preview your SVGs at various sizes. There are a lot of small improvements: Reworked dropdowns, customizable fonts, fixed Chinese font, configurable optimizer, improved evaluator, and other smaller ones. A lot of bugs have been addressed. Despite the fact GodSVG still has ways to go before reaching beta, I expect this prerelease to be outstandingly bug-free.

The 10th alpha of GodSVG has arrived! This prerelease introduces the ability to import multiple SVGs at once, improves tab management, brings some enhancements and fixes several major bugs. ## Changes to file importing and tabs Wanting to import a few SVGs at once is common, for example with icon sets. But in GodSVG, you had to do it one by one. I've now added functionalities for importing multiple SVGs at once. This works for all scenarios I'm aware of: - Dragging multiple SVGs into the window. This would previously only check the first file, resulting in some unexpected behaviors. - Selecting multiple SVGs in a file dialog. Both the native and the built-in file dialogs would previously only allow selecting one when importing SVGs. - "Open with..." types of options when right-clicking multiple SVGs, which was added in the previous alpha, but had edge cases that didn't work well. All three of these cases now use the same standardized robust system, and file dialogs allow selecting multiple files when you're importing SVGs. For convenience, dragging files into GodSVG now also focuses the window. And all non-SVG files are discarded right away, so you can drop files even

GodSVG releases its ninth alpha! This prerelease is mainly focused on stability, setting the stage for future alphas, but it also introduces something big - configurable layouts! Thanks to @jas31415, @JinEnMok, @Swarkin, and @Kiisu-Master for keeping translations up to date. ## What's new? I've implemented the ability to configure the application's layout. For now, this means you can change the positions of the code editor and the inspector, make them into separate tabs, or completely hide them. This is all done through a new popup to avoid cluttering the general UI. This should make it way easier to get comfortable with GodSVG. The new default layout is also different, showing the inspector and the code editor as two tabs that can be switched between. If you prefer the old UI, you can easily change back to it through the new system. https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/edea0a88-53a8-4324-ab4d-b80f10e3be9a ## Other new things - "Check for Updates" menu overhaul - This widget has existed for a while, but it didn't work in release versions. Now it has been fixed by @Swarkin - The UI has been improved by me - Support for opening multiple SVGs at once via
