Sorry to reply-to-self but may it help to add that I have just confirmed
that this provides a nice way to view one or more svg files.

If you download and install the Inkscape package  www.inkscape.org/download/

The inkview.exe is included at program files\inkscape.  You need it in your
PATH of course.

Inkview.exe *.svg

sets up a slideshow - and you can expand or contract the windows neatly
showing the Scaleableness.
