SVG Optimizer

SVG Optimizer v2.0.0 — a design toolkit for logging, tracking, and managing SVG optimization entries from the command line. Each command logs timestamped entries to individual log files, provides history viewing, summary statistics, data export, and full-text search across all records.

Commands

Run svg-optimizer <command> [args] to use.

How It Works

Every command (palette, preview, generate, convert, etc.) works the same way:

• With arguments: Saves a timestamped entry (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM|input) to <command>.log and writes to history.log.
• Without arguments: Displays the 20 most recent entries from that command's log file.

This gives you a lightweight, file-based logging system for tracking SVG optimization tasks, color palette work, gradient design, and vector asset management.

Data Storage

All data is stored locally in ~/.local/share/svg-optimizer/:

~/.local/share/svg-optimizer/
├── palette.log      # Palette entries (timestamp|value)
├── preview.log      # Preview entries
├── generate.log     # Generate entries
├── convert.log      # Convert entries
├── harmonize.log    # Harmonize entries
├── contrast.log     # Contrast entries
├── export.log       # Export entries
├── random.log       # Random entries
├── browse.log       # Browse entries
├── mix.log          # Mix entries
├── gradient.log     # Gradient entries
├── swatch.log       # Swatch entries
├── history.log      # Master activity log
└── export.<fmt>     # Exported data files

Requirements

• Bash (4.0+)
• Standard POSIX utilities: date, wc, du, tail, grep, sed, cat
• No external dependencies — works on any Linux or macOS system out of the box

When to Use

1. Tracking SVG optimization runs — Use svg-optimizer convert "logo.svg minified" to log each optimization pass with timestamps.
2. Managing color palettes — Use svg-optimizer palette "#FF5733, #33FF57, #3357FF" to record palette choices for design projects.
3. Generating gradient records — Use svg-optimizer gradient "linear: blue→purple for header" to log gradient configurations.
4. Comparing contrast ratios — Use svg-optimizer contrast "foreground #333 vs background #FFF = 12.6:1" to track accessibility checks.
5. Browsing and reviewing design assets — Use svg-optimizer browse "icon set v2 review" to log asset review sessions, then search to find specific entries.

Examples

# Log a palette entry
svg-optimizer palette "#E63946, #F1FAEE, #A8DADC, #457B9D"

# Log a convert/optimization entry
svg-optimizer convert "hero-banner.svg - removed metadata, 45% smaller"

# Generate a design record
svg-optimizer generate "New icon set: 24 icons at 24x24"

# Create a gradient entry
svg-optimizer gradient "radial: sunset orange to deep purple"

# Check a swatch
svg-optimizer swatch "Brand primary: #1D3557"

# View recent activity
svg-optimizer recent

# Search for entries related to icons
svg-optimizer search "icon"

# Get summary statistics
svg-optimizer stats

# Export all data to JSON
svg-optimizer export json

Output

All commands output to stdout. Redirect to a file if needed:

svg-optimizer stats > design-report.txt
svg-optimizer export csv  # writes to ~/.local/share/svg-optimizer/export.csv
