How and where did you install it? The .dmg from their site, and Arch's pacman didn't add user metadata to my installations.
You can clear yours:
File -> Document Properties -> Metadata (clear all fields) -> Save as default
===
At any rate, for the web use:
File -> Save As -> Optimized SVG
- crazygringo 5y agoJust the .dmg from their site. No idea why your defaults would be different from mine. Why is it even a "feature" in the first place? It's not the kind of thing I'd expect to even have to worry about whether it defaulted to on or off.
- efortis 5y agoProbably for copyright and license. It's a common feature, MS Office documents include even more metadata, such as how many times the file has been saved.
- crazygringo 5y agoMy problem isn't with quantity of metadata. It's with personally-identifying data. And I can't imagine what the filepath could ever have to do with copyright or license. I don't see how this is a common feature at all.
- mattkrause 5y agoYou can include links to other resources (e.g., an image) in an SVG file. Perhaps it's meant to help resolve those paths?
- efortis 5y agoThe only way I can reproduce your scenario is by inserting an image using "Link" instead of "Embed". Other than that, was it part of the original/downloaded file?
- efortis 5y agoSorry I thought you were worrying about your PII and the filepath as two different things.
- Tagbert 5y agoInkscape probably treats the source SVG differently than an optimized output SVG and includes additional data to make editing the file better. Other apps use a proprietary format for their source files that contains this additional information and have to export to an open format for output.
