I don't know. Theoretically it should be possible to get a preview/thumbnail
of each single svg file. Then any link would go to wherever the frontpage is
kept. If they link to the same page (because of a file structure similar to
the above example) that would really only be coincidence.

Agreed.

Yeah, Fair enough. I wasn't too impressed with the quality of the preview
either, but I didn't feel like fixing it then. I think I will go back over
my uploads later on, after or during the 0.18 uploads.

A solution I've found is to make a PNG bigger than 128, then upload it. Make
good quality png in the first place, but then that means I need to reopen
the svg in inkscape :D :D

*sigh* So much to do.
