Description

I've been trying to run SVGs through ImageOptim (the SVGO option is enabled, and Node is in the correct path), but it always fails.

I run SVGO from the command line on the same SVGs and they are reduced by ~30%.

Are there logs or something I can provide to help troubleshoot?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure in ImageOptim with the SVGO option enabled and Node configured, then compare the result with running SVGO from the command line on the same SVGs. Done means the ImageOptim path processes the SVG successfully and produces comparable optimization; capture logs or other diagnostic output to identify the discrepancy.
