Why SVG files, especially those exported from various editors, usually contain a lot of redundant and useless information. Getting this error today: # /tdewolff/minify/v2/minify SVG O ptimizer is a Node.js-based tool for optimizing SVG vector graphics files.

MINIFY SVG FREE
I do not see stripping comments and whitespace saving much network bandwidth. This tool helps you clean up and reduce the size of your SVG files, keeping them free from unnecessary data. The metric should not be how much the SVG file size is reduced it should be how much the compressed file is reduced. There will be many repetitions of CSS properties with style attributes such as font-family:Liberation Sans font-size:14.37872 font-weight:normal. However, such files have lots of redundancy and will compress well. Inkscape files are often bloated with over-specified attributes. Optimizers can do lossless compression by removing or defaulting some attributes. Rounding coordinates to 6 digits is usually reasonable, but what if all those coordinates share a 4-digit offset? If the SVG is too big, then render it as a PNG and ship the PNG. Using tools such as svgo and SVGCompress are about lossy compression, and that is a dubious activity. The removal would not change the rendering at all. Removing comments and white space is essentially about lossless compression. Most diagrams will have a few labels rather than 50, and they will have a small set of languages. Striping irrelevant language would cut the file in half, but that file is an exceptional case. There is a USA map with state names in over 50 languages I think the graphics are 200 kB and the translations are antoher 200 kB.

WMF needs to figure out how it will serve SVG files (such as by localizing i18n SVG before passing it to the browser), but that is not about removing comments and white space. Rilke's T134490#2279887 raises systemLanguage issues, but that seems to be out of scope. English comments will also compress well. Neither do I see white space as a significant issue white space compresses very well.īrion's T134490#2269270 points out that the server will compress the SVG before transferring it. Even files generated by hand have few comments. In my experience, most SVG files are generated by applications and have few comments. There is no claim to how significant removing those items would be. The description worries about "extra white space and comments which are unnecessary".
MINIFY SVG PLUS
If optmizing should really be done internally in MediaWiki, it should be as an opt-in-feature but only with mostly "safe" options plus librsvg-bug-fixing (but that should be imho another bug-report). If it means optimizing files, that's very dangerous and should be done externally (What the bug reported might intend). So the question is what do we mean by minimization? If it means removing of intents and comments that is imho deprecated (what this bug report imho originally reported). This minifier removes whitespace, strips comments, combines files, and optimizes/shortens a few common programming patterns. without installing) e.g on, but imho should not be done automatically (too dangerous). minify Select Language: JS description Make your website smaller and faster to load by minifying the JS and CSS code. However SVG-Minimizers (such as: scour, svgcleaner and expecially svgo [recommended by have imho many bugs and are/were hardly maintained, see. Inkscape and the WMF SVG-Translate-Tool are famous for bloated useless definitions.
MINIFY SVG MANUAL
(If we talk about client-side-rendering that might be different.)Ĭomments and Whitspaces should imho not be removed to safe some disk space, since they are essential for manual editing in a Text-Editor or Commons:SVGEdit.js. Open the Command Palette (P on Mac and Ctrl+Shift+P on Win/Linux) and run Minify SVG. If we mean that a minimized SVG-version of the uploaded SVG should be saved: I would say a clear no.
