Comment (by simonrcodrington):

 Hey guys, thanks for the fast response.

 Reading up on those links it seems that SVG's are still not officially
 supported by WP and as such the support is provided 'as is', meaning if I
 want this adjusted so it works nicely I should just add it to a plugin /
 my themes?

 Is that correct?

 Also, reading through those other threads, it seems the reason SVG's
 aren't supported is because of potential security concerns? Is this still
 the main issue? (As whenever I've used them I use them for images / icons
 etc)

 Basically, all I want to do is make the file upload / image preview step a
 little nicer for clients who want to use SVG icons. Right now it's a bit
 tedious as you get image previews inconsistently, e.g when uploading
 several SVG's you get a tiny preview as they successfully upload, but on
 the media manager when trying to select one as a featured image the
 default icon is used.

 Cheers
