Only jpeg is included because it was needed by something in QGIS. If external plugins can and will make use of the other Qt image plugins, I can add them.<br></blockquote><div><br>Thanks for the clarification. I edited '<a href="http://1qt.cmake.in">1qt.cmake.in</a>' in my copy of the master branch to bundle all of the Qt image formats into a .app build [0]. It builds fine, with correct referencing to the bundled Qt frameworks.<br>
<br>Now, my help browser loads favicons and gifs [1], as well as rendering SVG [2]. I ran into an issue where the browser would crash master whenever there was an external website trying to load (not related to image formats). So, I copied the extra image format .dylibs over to my local copy of your 1.7.4 install, where they worked well, with no crashes from the browser.<br>
