SVG in browser different in Affinity Designer

[v4567]

I created an SVG image from code and it looks the way I want it in the browser, however the mask does not appear when I open it in Affinity Designer. Any ideas why?

Here's my SVG code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<!DOCTYPE svg PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/Graphics/SVG/1.1/DTD/svg11.dtd">

• ADe Layer masking

The best way IMO in order to support ADe's way here is, to first create in ADe either a pixel or vector mask (so what you need here) and export that then as an SVG file.

• Then reopen the by ADe exported SVG with Ade to see if it interprets it's own generate code correctly again (aka eat your own dog food).
• Next open the by ADe generated SVG file inside an editor and inspect how ADe generates and writes out the SVG code here.
• Afterwards code your SVG code generation the way ADe should usually be able to parse/read and interpret it correctly again in!
