Big size of file with texture

Postby Cyprien » Thu Feb 11, 2016 1:21 am

I'm trying to make track parts with road texture and grass texture. But the size of my files are very big (470 Mo with 10 parts).
Can you help me to reduce the size of this file with the same result ? Where i'm wrong ?
You can download my file here : https://gitlab.com/tedour/pathdriver/bl ... aight2.svg (120Mo)

Hi.

Is that the file in question?
Hmm no.
-It's 93,9 MB and filled with html with alot of tspan.
Looks like you have downloaded a webpage instead an svg.

https://gitlab.com/tedour/pathdriver/tree/master/papercraft/track

Instead of right click/save link as
you need to click on the file to open in a tab and download it after it gets rendered
-or download the zipped file.

Your file wasn't an svg.

Directed you to the correct one which opens with no problem.

I was just able to open your file by copy&paste its content into a fresh Inkscape file.
After going File->"Document cleaning"= the entry after "Printing" - I don´t know the English term as I use another language on my system and deleting some unused stuff outside the paper format. The size went down from 98,3MB to 8,3MB. I guess this is the right handbook entry: http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... acuum.html

Hope this helps.

It's 'Clean up document' in the English version.
