Reduce the size of SVGs

Oh My SVG let you export unoptimized SVG files into smaller versions.

Under the hood, it uses SVGO to remove or approximate information that is not required for rendering.

It lets you preview and tweak the parameters to obtain a satisfactory result before saving.

Remember that Oh My SVG removes information and metadata that may be useful, do not overwrite your original/source SVG files.

Setup flatpak then

flatpak install re.sonny.OhMySVG
flatpak run re.sonny.OhMySVG

To pass the tests you have to install a few dependencies:

# Install development dependencies with dnf (Fedora)
sudo dnf install --assumeyes npm flatpak make desktop-file-utils gjs gtk4-devel libadwaita-devel

# Install development dependencies with apt (Debian, Ubuntu)
sudo apt-get install --assume-yes npm flatpak make desktop-file-utils gjs libgtk-4-dev libadwaita-1-dev

# The rest is distribution-agnostic once other dependencies have been resolved
npm install
flatpak remote-add --user --if-not-exists flathub https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo
flatpak install --user --assumeyes --noninteractive flathub org.freedesktop.appstream-glib

# Run tests, may fail in sandboxed environments (i.e. Snap/Flatpak)
make test

Flathub builds https://flathub.org/builds/#/apps/re.sonny.OhMySVG

meson --prefix $PWD/install build
ninja -C build install

flatpak-builder --user --force-clean --install-deps-from=flathub --install flatpak re.sonny.OhMySVG.json
