Enhancement: Optimize included png and svg files

Is there an existing issue for this?

Problem description

When heading through my local filesystem with image optimization tools (for svg, png and jpg files), I noticed that some freecad related files were optimized.

Thus I've downloaded the current source code and executed those programs within the folder.
Results:

• SVG files are compressible by about 40-90% with svgo -r -f ./FreeCAD-main --multipass
• PNG files are compressible by about 3-30% with oxipng -o max -r -p ./FreeCAD-main

Possibly apply those programs and optimizations to your image files to save some space, reduce download sizes and necessary computing power to display the images - even though all of these are just minimal improvements.

@obelisk79 what do you think about this?

@rmeissn, how much space have you saved?

[rmeissn]

For the current source-code (downloaded as a zip and extracted, according to du):
Current size: 373 200 KB
Optimized Size: 356 704 KB

But it might be best to optimize these files after the build step, as e.g. svgo is removing data that is unnecessary for display, but might be valuable for further development.

Any decisions on this ?

I didn't think anything ever came out of this. I commend the efforts to optimize the images.
