Hi Bob,

Yes, you can. The Batik wiki [1] has a pointer to a popular tutorial
[2] by Frank Bruder which has information on how to set file
association (and a lot more regarding integration with Windows). ;-)

Do you mean some sort of slide-show function? As far as I know, Batik
Squiggle, the viewer shipped with Batik, doesn't provide such
functionality [3]. Nevertheless, one might build a script to take a
directory and open all child SVG files or a set of previously selected
SVG files but, given that Batik will try to load all files during
start-up, this can become *very* resource intensive (and will likely
lead to JVM heap failures due to the default memory allocation).

If you simply want an easy way to crawl for a specific SVG file (or
set of files) within a folder, there's also a "Windows® Thumbnail
Plugin" in the Renesis bundle [4] which generates thumbnails for SVG
files in Windows Explorer (like for other raster formats, displayed
whenever the Thumbnail View is active). Note that the plug-in leaks
memory pretty bad, though, still I sometimes use it on Windows. :-)

Hope this helps,
 Helder
