Recently, I redid the experiment and found the results had changed. Here they are! - Author: Kyra - Tags: reMarkable, PNG, SVG, Science Experiment, MacOS The other day I was playing and I decided to test out the `SVG` versus `PNG` question on my reMarkable again just to discover that they had changed their system and my old post [*Which Version of the reMarkable’s Templates Are Emailed Out?*](https://www.simplykyra.com/which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/)was no longer accurate. As such I wanted to share the new updated results with you! ![Pinterest geared image showing my post title, images from below, and my main URL.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/01/compressed_Copy-of-Which-Version-of-the-reMarkable-s-Templates-Are-Emailed-Out----Pinterest-1.jpg) --- This experiment and the resulting chart was created while running version 3.9.3.1986 on my reMarkable. How I carried it out and the old results can be found in my previous post: [Which Version of the reMarkable’s Templates Are Emailed Out?](https://www.simplykyra.com/which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/).You can find all of [my reMarkable related posts through the reMarkable tag here](https://www.simplykyra.com/topic/remarkable/).I also have an app out that allows you to set the templates and their image(s) from your iPad, iPhone, or Mac. For more information check it out [here: Simply Customize It!](https://www.simplykyra.com/simply-customize-it/) --- ## Experiment As before I started by creating three custom templates: 1. One with just the `PNG` image and not the associated `SVG` image 2. One with just the `SVG` image and not the associated `PNG` image 3. And one with both the `SVG` and `PNG` set but to drastically different looking images I then uploaded all three to my reMarkable and used each one on a separate notebook page. Here I was able to see what image type was displayed before going on to export the page, via emailing it, three separate times so I could compare the results of all three of the offered file types: `PDF`, `PNG`, and `SVG`. This was the longest part of the experiment as I had to wait to see if I would receive each email and whether I'd need to resend one or more of them. ![Tall image showing three of the emails received when emailing out the PDF, PNG, and SVG version of this template.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/01/compressed_2024-01-05-at-07.10.08.png) The results of some of the emails sent to my inbox. ## Previous Results [The last time](https://www.simplykyra.com/which-version-of-the-remarkables-templates-are-emailed-out/) I ran this experiment, in the summer of 2022 while running `version 2.12.3.606` of the software, I noticed that in most cases (excluding exporting as a `PDF`) the `PNG` version of the template was sent out rather than the `SVG` file and when the `PNG` wasn't available it just didn't show the image. This supported my prior realization that it made no major different creating custom templates with just the `PNG` image uploaded. ![The chart is shown with a large X over it.](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/01/compressed_Update-Crossed-OutWhich-Version-of-the-reMarkable-s-Templates-Are-Emailed-Out----Graph.jpg) The old results. ## Current Results When I redid this experiment; however, I noticed drastically different results... thus leading me to share this post with you. This time around the `SVG` file was used in *all* cases unless it couldn't be found. When it wasn't found it switches to using the `PNG` version, in all cases, without a blank file showing like before. ![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/d3/68/d3684a67-f3a9-4c11-9d37-bc9fc8fe73ed/content/images/2024/01/compressed_Copy-of-Which-Version-of-the-reMarkable-s-Templates-Are-Emailed-Out----Graph.png) While writing this I was curious what would happen if neither the `PNG` or `SVG` files were available so I connected to my reMarkable via `SSH`, removed all of those custom files while also leaving the `JSON` file untouched (so the templates still show up), and manually restarted my device. When I reopened the notebook I saw those pages, as expected, were now blank but I also saw that the thumbnails, shown when looking at all the pages at once, displayed the old image. That said, if I drew on the page or switched to another template the thumbnail was updated and, if still set to one of my custom ones, now blank. And with that I hope this post helped you out. Feel free to share in the comments if you know something that can expand on this as I’d love to have your comment help other readers too. Also share if you have a question and I'll see if I can answer it. I hope you’re having a great day. --- If you’re interested in getting any of my future blog updates I normally share them to my [Facebook page](https://www.facebook.com/SimplyKyra/) and [Instagram account](https://www.instagram.com/simplyartsykyra/?ref=simplykyra.com).
