svg-talk

hi, i recognized some changes on svgs you have done - optimizing with svgomg - i have some questions - i am from germany - do you speak german? --Mrmw (talk) 18:37, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

• Hi there. I'm afraid I don't speak a word of German, but I'd be happy to help regardless if I can. What do you need? AndreyKva (talk) 03:03, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

@AndreyKva: you optimize svgs with svgomg

in inkscape there is a filetype for saving called 'optimized svg' - not 'plain' or 'compressed svg'

do you know this?

my question is - is there a big difference in the code as result between editing with svgomg or saving in inkscape as 'optimized svg'?

greets and thx --Mrmw (talk) 06:45, 18 September 2019 (UTC)

Hey,

I don't have any experience with Inkscape, I'm afraid. I don't know much about SVGs at all, frankly. I just put SVGs into SVGOMG, and it comes out smaller and without any quality loss, and I put them up here sometimes. I don't know anything else about that, sorry.

Thanks for your pointed out, that's so powerful. --Great Brightstar (talk) 13:38, 6 October 2019 (UTC)

@AndreyKva and Great Brightstar: Optimizating with SVG-Optimizers are often not seen very gladly, because:

• Every Re-Upload needs space (even if you reduce the file-size)
• You are tickling many watchlists
• Sometimes Optimizers break things, see e.g. https://github.com/svg/svgo/issues
• Sometimes you don't break the file, but it is not rendered correcly any more, e.g. File:US_insular_areas.svg
• Even if you don't break things, you might remove important Editor-features see e.g. User:JoKalliauer/Optimization#invalid_elements_that_should_be_kept

If you use optimizers you should imho understand and know the risks mentioned in User:JoKalliauer/Optimization (maybe not all of them, but in generall)

If you use svgo (or SVGOMG) you should imho change your default settings, see User:JoKalliauer/Optimization#svgo

Generally I would say if you cannot read SVG-source-code you might should not optimize foreign SVG-files, because you e.g. might delete invisible/hidden comments/layers/features in the code, which are important for editing.

since SVG-Rendering is complicated, you should "always", test the file before uploading on Commons:Commons_SVG_Checker

@Mrmw: I think you already know it anyway, but in Help:Inkscape#Inkscape_SVG_vs._Plain_SVG the difference explained.

• Inkscape SVG: Save all inkscape-features
• plain SVG: without Editor-features
• optimized SVG: means optimized with scour, which is a similar program as svgo (or SVGOMG...svgo's Missing GUI)
• compressed SVG: means it is compress with gzip, SVG ist a text-file, if you zip/gzip it you save disk-space, but it is not a text-file any more (only after un(g)ziping) and can't be uploaded here

Okay, guess I won't do it anymore then. AndreyKva (talk) 10:23, 29 January 2020 (UTC)
