 Replying to [comment:3 matter]:
 > So, this ticket has been open for 2 years. Is there at least a howto to
 replicate what Tim noted?: "adding a large library of free svgs caused
 considerable slowdowns in the dialogs that display svgs for symbol
 selection"

 see instructions on how Tim got the SVGs to show up in the first place, as
 I want my copy to get rid of a bunch of the ones I don't use, and add the
 Geology ones so I can use my maps for work. Thanks for the info!


 Adding a few symbols (I tested 30/40) is not a big problem as qgis doesn't
 slow when you open the dialog box. It is probably different if you add
 hundreds, also because it would be impossible to find what is needed. The
 solution passes by creating a selector for categories/sub categories and
 show just the symbols for that particular category.
