Examotion has a player that can display the image for svg files as a preview in Windows Explorer. Their product is free, but closed source. I believe that it also only works with files that actually end in .svg. I have a need for a similar product that works with files also ending in some other extensions.
Is there an OSS solution that could be modified to suit this need?

The mentioned examotion renesis player seems to be the only free explorer extension! It seems to be stable, has good reviews and is working for me (the tiger svg you posted is working as well - maybe that's a different problem with your system).
If support for further extensions is the only problem, I would simply patch your windows registry.
Under
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes
there are entries for .svg and .svgz which declare to use the renesisplayer for thumbnail preview in explorer. you can simply add another key here like .mysvg similar to the existing keys.
Otherwise there are only commercial products like cadsofttools which has a svg plugin for irfanview and xnview.

You could try this one as well. It doesn't support the full SVG specification but at least it works. :)

For supported files in VSCode we get an option (when you right click on the file editor) to Format Document (ALT+SHIFT+F).
But unfortunately for Groovy this option is not available. And according to the VSCode community, there are no plans to implement this feature.
Is there an alternative solution available, specifically for VSCode?
I don't know how well this works for formatting other than indentation, but I simply changed the file extension from .groovy to .js, right clicked in the file, and selected "Format Document". It fixed the indentation for me.
There is now a Visual Studio Code extension to Lint, Format and Auto-fix Groovy and Jenkinsfiles ! :)

It would only be available via an extension, which you can search for in the marketplace.
Unfortunately it doesn't look like there are many extensions for Groovy at all. And if that can be considered an indication of the language's popularity, it's highly unlikely that broad support would ever be added to VS Code out of the box.

I've got a pet project for which I need graphics of the outlines of certain countries (mostly European countries). I want to dynamically generate country graphics like the image below. Prefferably in a combination of JavaScript, HTML and CSS. I've been Googling for a bit and found: http://www.dafont.com/geobats.font.
It is near perfect, the sad thing is that there are missing a few countries. I have no clue how to edit TTF files so I'm not able to update it myself. I also lack the Photoshop skills to create the images I need by hand. So I was hoping you guys could help me out. Is there a site where I can get SVG's* of several countries of a TTF file such as geobats only with more (European) countries? Thanks in advance.
*In the case of SVG's I'd prefer cutouts over outlines.
Update 1: I've included an image to show which kind of graphics I'm trying to make.

I want to be able to parse the printer settings binary files that Excel saves inside xl\printerSettings\printerSettingsNN.bin inside the XLSX zip archive. Much searching for documentation avails little.
Is this a common format that I just don't recognize, or is it specific to Excel? Is anyone aware of where to find details on the format?
It looks to be a Windows device-specific structure, DEVMODE.
Tracked it down via http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chrisrae/archive/2010/10/06/where-is-the-documentation-for-office-s-docx-xlsx-pptx-formats-part-2-office-2010.aspx, which links to ECMA-376, Second Edition, Part 1 - Fundamentals And Markup Language reference from www.ecma-international.org.
Except from the relevant §15.2.15 on page 160:
An instance of this part type contains information about the
initialization and environment of a printer or a display device. The
layout of this information is application-defined.
[Note: It is recommended that a Printer Settings Part contain well documented XML content for improved interoperability;
however, there is no requirement on the format of the content
contained in a Printer Settings Part. end note]
[Example: An Office
Open XML producer on Windows might store the DEVMODE structure defined
here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/gdi/prntspol_8nle.asp,
while an application on the Mac OS might choose to store the print
record defined
here:http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Printing/index.html. end
example]
(Even 5,568 page standards suffer link rot- see DEVMODE structure.)
That means, in C# for example, you can make use of the PrinterSettings' GetHdevmode and SetHdevmode methods to interop with the structure.

I used dreamweaver for HTML editing so far and its fine for UI developer I think.
But most weak point is too heavy.
I wonder if I should upgrade to something more lighter with full-featured.
Anyone recommend me HTML editor tool?
Those features are what I'm looking for.
not heavy to load
split mode (code / view)
custom colors for element/attribue/values...
auto-complete tag (code hint)
auto-add close tag
changes code same time interactively (like multiple sections.)
html validation check
wysiwyg
For simple light weight code editor I would recommend Bracket , Simply nice for HTML and Javascript coding and for split mode you can always use developer tool of browsers. I find them much better.
Assuming that your work on Windows (if not, let me know)
You could take a look to (All of them are WYSIWYG):
Microsoft Expression Web 4 (Free Version) Developed by Microsoft. Not exactly WYSIWYG but quite close and quite similar to Dreamweaver for an easy transition.
BlueGriffon Open Source
Aloha Open Source
I like Brackets a lot, but It's not WYSIWYG as you are request for.

I once bought a single license of Microangelo for creating icons which served me well in the past, but now I'm helping run up a new Virtual Machine base for our dev team to use and would like to include a decent free icon editor in there.
I'd prefer something that fully supports creating icons for Windows Vista.
For all those of you thinking "Don't let a developer design graphics!" just pretend I said "for our UI Design Team" instead of "Dev Team", lol. ;)
That's simple, because it's free, powerfull and supports Vista Icons (256x256): IcoFx
On this site you can find a tool for (animated) cursors, too: AniFx
If you want to pay, I'd suggest a more powerful ones: Axialis Iconworkshop
I would use Inkscape to design the icons, and then render them scaled down and convert them to the final format with Gimp
The benefit of this is you can design the icon once, and produce it in many target sizes effortlessly.
That's what the OpenSource world are doing these days :) ( We even have Native SVG Icons now )
I would recommend Paint.NET, or The GIMP. They're not specifically for icons, but will do the job and much more. Also, both free.
EDIT: Paint.NET requires plugin (free).
For icons, there's IcoFX.
