Group Informed EPS Files

[Joshman]

Hi Guys,

I love affinity designer, it is the best alternative to Adobe illustrator and even Photoshop, because it has both raster and vector features. the only reason why I have problem with this software and why I don't use it frequently is becaus, when I import downloaded ESP files into Affinity Designer, instead of the components of the file to be grouped, they are imported ungrouped, which  makes it very difficult to work on them. I understand this happens because most designs saved as EPS, were done with illustrator, but Serif should find a way to give Affinity Designer the ability to keep the grouped characteristics of EPS files that are been imported into the software, even those that were initially designed with illustrator, this is a big concern for me.

Ran into this last night. Come on, guys. It's 2021. EPS is not rocket science.

For standard EPS files that's true.

EPS files containing proprietary Adobe Illustrator data are a different matter, however.
