[Clipart] RE: zero byte files

[Gerald Ganson]

FYI in case this info can help.

I upgraded to Adobe Illustrator-CS version, and it appears to handle RDF
a little differently than did ver. 10.  When I save a file in AI now to
SVG with Author, title, license etc. the file grows by more than double
and it has a bunch of weird adobe stuff in it.

I know that if you click on "make editable in Adobe" to save, then AI
will save a copy of the AI file embeded within the SVG file and of
course this would be bad for OCAL.

But just checking "include XMP" when saving SVG creates a problem too.

So if you save without "XMP" in AI, you get a file with no RDF tag in it
at all. I tried to upload one to OCAL, and seem to have gotten a zero
byte file as well.

I've posted the file "Goalie mask (B and W)" for comparison at...

http://www.rdc.ab.ca/rdc/personal/gganson/test/goal_mask_01.svg

The other files I uploaded this morning were from the older version of
AI, and the RDF data was added by a script locally that I wrote for
Windows.

I'll try and rewrite my script to add the RDF tags into this new version
of AI files to see if I can upload successfully with those.

So point of my long story is... It may depend on the program and save
options as to wether or not a submitter gets the 0 byte problem.
