Hi @lipis

We're looking into slimming down flags size, especially >400kB ones like rs or do.
Our use case requires 60x45px as the largest size so the pixel perfection is not exactly the key factor.

We've tried https://jakearchibald.github.io/svgomg/ and at least rs goes down quite significantly.

I doubt you'll be willing to optimise them all using this tool, but maybe mentioning it in the README.md may be of value to some users.

Cheers /Greg

In some use cases it might make sense.. I'll give it a try to see the results and if it's not ruining the quality too much I might use it for the big flags..

In general I'm using the SVGO before pushing the flags..

Also I've seen this tool in the past.. and there is no command line for it if I recall.. right? Maybe that changed..?

Just had a look here https://github.com/jakearchibald/svgomg

SVGOMG = SVGO + MG (Missing GUI) :)

So it's pretty much the same thing, with I guess some additional options switched on by default (in the GUI).

Thanks for updating rs flag.

Just an FYI, on our end we've ended by with running: svgo -f ./flags/4x3 -o ./flags/4x3 --config=svgo.yml --precision=1 using below svgo.yml saving ~30% on the overall size.

plugins:
    - cleanupAttrs      
    - cleanupEnableBackground
    - cleanupIDs
    - cleanupNumericValues
    - collapseGroups
    - convertColors
    - convertPathData
    - convertShapeToPath
    - convertStyleToAttrs
    - convertTransform
    - mergePaths
