New LXDE image viewer - LXImage-Qt

[richwiki101 at gmail.com]

Like the GNOME image viewer eog, which has svg support via librsvg, will 
lximage-qt support viewing, zooming, exporting, and resaving svg files via 
Qt's svg implementation (also allows displaying of animated svg images) or 
librsvg (I stated this because certain svg images may contain features that 
might not be supported by Qt's svg implementation)? That way, one will not 
have to install a more heavyweight program such as KDE's gwenview or 
Inkscape, and that gtk+ could potentially not have to be installed for 
running eog or the rsvg-viewer that comes with librsvg.
