I have just started the process of porting an old S60 2nd Edition application to 3rd Edition (Symbian 9).

I was getting ready to port my icons and bitmaps
from the old application and I have encountered the issue of bmp or svg (mbm vs mif).

What I don't quite understand yet is whether I really need to convert all my images to svg? My application will only ever run
in portrait mode and (probably) on no other screensize than 240x320.

Do I really need to convert my images to svg? and if I don't
is there any disadvantage?

Thanks for any help.

Paris.

Re: SVG images vs BMP

Well, as per my understanding, you only need to convert the main icon image of your application to svg. So while building, Symbian S60 3rd build process will take this svg and convert to mif, which will be used as main Icon of your application.

The images being used in your application(by your logic) can be of any format.
