icons.svg can be greatly reduced in size

[insaner]

this might make startup much much faster.. im willing to do the cleanup, but is this something desirable? the cleanup consists of making all objects using duplicate gradients all use the same single gradient.. maybe even naming these gradients for convenience..

what say ye?

I'm not in favor of re-using one gradient in the current icons file. There are gradients for varying base colors, and if those could be preserved where it makes sense it would be great. But in addition to that, before opening and editing the icons.svg, having the following in your preferences.xml file helps to reduce file size (per http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Icons#Single_SVG_File ):

    <group
       id="svgoutput"
       usenamedcolors="0"
       numericprecision="7"
       minimumexponent="-8"
       inlineattrs="1"
       indent="0" />

Personally I'm curious if we can educe the numeric precision by a couple digits and not lose any real detail/precision.

Not in favor? Would you then also prefer to fork (aka duplicate) those which already are re-used (aka shared) multiple times?

[ScislaC (scislac)]

Sorry, was was misreading as if all objects using the same single gradient... obviously forked dupes should be removed (should be much easier to do with the new F&S dialog features and Find & Replace)

I guess "greatly" was a severe overshoot.. but anyways, I modified the file to re-use as many common gradients as I could. If there are no objections, I will check in by Wednesday.
