[Clipart] some of the pictures contain binary code

[Gerald Ganson]

Yup I wrote a script to remove all content between the <i:pgf
id="adobe_illustrator_pgf"> tag and the </i:pgf> tag in an Adobe
Illustrator SVG file. I ran the script against all the files I had
uploaded for R.17.

Results 	- before run, 99 files, 20.4 MB
		- after run, 99 files 2.91 MB

This is obviously worth the time and effort.

I need to next open each file and confirm that it is all OK, and no
problems were created with the files.
I can supply the script to any other Windows/AI current or future
contributers.

If all seems ok what would be the next step - run this against the
collection at OCAL
or me re-submit all my content again ?

(personally it would seem better to run something like this against the
collection)

I'll be running it before future submissions though. (As long as all
TESTS out OK)

Thanks for pointing this out.

My own try: opened the file in a text editor (gedit) and deleted
*everything* from <i:pgf id="adobe_illustrator_pgf"> to </i:pgf> Now the
file is only about 33 kB and open just fine both in Inkscape and eog

the removal of this junk delimited by the <i> and </i> tags should be
easily scriptable
