SVGO settings file has no effect

[Anthony-Gaudino]

SVGR suggests adding a svgo.config.js file for the SVGO settings:

export default {
  multipass: true,
  plugins: [
    "removeDimensions",
    "removeXMLNS",
    "convertOneStopGradients",
    "preset-default",
    "reusePaths",
    "removeXlink",
  ],
};

But this file has no effect.

But if I create a .svgrrc.json:

{
  "svgoConfig": {
    "multipass": true,
    "plugins": [
      "removeDimensions",
      "removeXMLNS",
      "convertOneStopGradients",
      "preset-default",
      "reusePaths",
      "removeXlink"
    ]
  }
}

Then it works.

I would expect the SVGO settings in it's settings file to be applied.
