Inkscape needs to decide whether it wants to be just an SVG editor or a full vector editor.
It dumps tons of junk in the SVG and has pretty poor tools for managing the SVG hierarchy (resorting to text editing for some things), but at the same time they've used the excuse of being an SVG editor to avoid implementing things like path thickness and mesh gradients for years (yes, there's a path effect extension now but it's hugely buggy).
- url00 4y agoNot that it’s a particularly good workflow, but there is a series of advanced save options that can produce much better SVGs that are very clean without all the inkscape cruft. Might be worth checking out.
- hansvm 4y agoLink please?
- url00 4y agoHmm it's apparently hard to find information about the feature, at least from a quick Google. This SO post at least talks about it: https://superuser.com/questions/1256265/how-to-export-an-minified-optimized-svg-from-inkscape https://superuser.com/questions/1256265/how-to-export-an-min... I've used it myself plenty of times for my personal website with good results.
