[kepler-dev] SVG file in Kepler

[Dan Higgins]

Hi All,
    I just checked out a new copy of the head of Kepler CVS and wondered 
why it seemed to take longer than in the past.

    One reason appears to be that we now have ~ 60 MB of SVG files! (in 
kepler\docs\dev\usability\graphics\svg\). This is the same size as the 
jar directory which has our huge collection of jars needed for Kepler!

    Apparently, the SVG files are just the new icons suggested by Laura. 
But why are they so big? (about 500KB each). I thought vector graphic 
files were supposed to be compact. Are we going to ship all these with 
Kepler? Can we put them somewhere other than CVS so we don't have to 
copy them with every checkout?

Dan
