Hi there
I'm new to Affinity Designer and like it a lot so far.
One problem I came across is that some .ai files with masks in them can't be exported as svg's without loosing the information of the masks. These masks have the sole purpose of creating an polar gradient overlay for the illustrations. When exporting the files as svg with the option "rasterize nothing" excludes the elements with the masks on them in the exported svg.
Exporting the files without this option creates an svg which looks like the original but rasterizes the elements with the masks on them. I'm not sure if this is normal behaviour, I'm doing something wrong, or if the .ai files are corrupted or something.
So, I tried to recreate the issue by making a simple file in AffD with a rectangle and a mask with a gradient on it. The outcome is the same as described above.
Would be nice if someone could have a look, thanks! The example file is attached.
