How to export an minified/optimized svg from Inkscape?

Question

I'm using Inkscape to create and manipulate SVGs. Later I use this files in my websites. Unfortunately Inkscape produces a really messy SVG, even I select Plain SVG in the save dialog.

How can I export a clean, optimized and minified SVG from Inkscape? Like without this metadata and unnecessary transforms?

Answer 1

In the Save As dialog select the file type to be

Optimized SVG (.svg)

You then get a dialog where you can set which optional SVG elements can excluded.
