I would like to have an option in "simplify" that puts the control points on pixel boundaries, in order to reduce the precision of the numbers in the svg file.
Now every floating point number has 5 digits, whereas 0 or 1 digit would probably not make a visually significant change.
Me Too. Sounds like an excellent idea for an extension. Throwing something together quickly will help to show 1) how this is useful (eg. retroactive snapping, file size compression, etc.) and 2) how you see it best implemented. It would probably need to be an output extension because Inkscape will convert the numbers back into floats on load. It would be cool to pursue "SVG Compression Techniques" a bit further and distill appropriate PATH segments into their shorthand counterparts (eg. L becomes H or V). If not an extension, I think the idea probably deserves an RFE.
