Svgo: Will empty file with <symbol>.

[crybat]

Hi

SVGO simply empties my file:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg">
  <symbol id="PencilSymbol" viewBox="0 0 30.146 30">
    <path d="M18.746,5.006l6.133,6.133L9.356,26.663l-6.131-6.134L18.746,5.006z M29.533,3.528l-2.736-2.735

Yep, symbol isn't rendered and since there is no reference to it, it's being removed. You need to disable removeUselessDefs plugin.

[crybat]

Thank you for answering.

I tried running $ svgo --disable=removeUselessDefs svg.svg with the same result.

removeUselessDefs doesn't even show up when I run svgo --show-plugins.

svgo -v
0.5.6

Edit: Nevermind, it worked. However, it's strange the plugin doesn't show. Is this expected behaviour?

[GreLI]

I see it there right after cleanupIDs and removeRasterImages. Don't you?

[crybat]

Oh wow. I do. Must have had a brain fart or something. Sorry.

[GreLI]

I just thought, that it's better to disable cleanupIDs since you're referrencing to these symbols, right? And then items with IDs shouldn't be removed.

[crybat]

Yea, I figured that out. Thanks.
