This one took me a couple days to figure out. When trying to import new symbols into SedLog 3.0, I kept running into an error “Unable to read this file: <filepath.svg>.” It turns out that the 64-bit version of Windows 7 is getting in the way somewhere.
To solve this problem, you can download and run the installer again, but first do the following:
- right-click on the installer file (sedlog-3.0-setup.exe),
- select the “Compatibility” tab,
- check the box “Run this program in compatibility mode for:” and select “Windows XP (Service Pack 3),”
- check the box “Run this program as an administrator.”
Run the installer. You should now be able to create and import SVG graphics per the official instructions.
Additional note on the SVG graphics: in Adobe Illustrator CS6, you should reduce the size of the artboard so that it is the same size as (or only slightly lager than) the symbol graphic. It also looks like the maximum size for an SVG image to fit the entire symbol is about 42×42 pixels, but to match the existing symbols I think 20×20 px is a good size..
