Hi!

From http://bugs.debian.org/350410, is it possible to have a better error message when trying to convert an image to SVG, please?

Using ImageMagick 6.4.5-4 I see:

$ convert input.png output.svg
convert: no image vector graphics `output.svg' @ coders/svg.c/WriteSVGImage/3351.

(while I know that it won't convert the file to SVG, it would be good that the message saying this)

Thank you!

You can edit exception messages at anytime, just modify the english.xml configuration file. However, we will improve the exception message in the ImageMagick distribution. What message would you like to see? Perhaps "no image vector graphics; unable to generate SVG"?

That would be fine.
Thank you again!
