SVG Import - Problems with gradients

[cdordelly]

Hello!

I want to ask if there is limited support with SVG files and gradients. if I try to open for example this .svg from this link:



https://www.sidefx.com/docs/houdini/icons/VOP/kinefx-transformfrompath.svg

In Affinity v2 it appears like this:



I don't know if I'm missing something, please let me know if you know what can be causing this unexpected interpretation.

Thanks a lot!

Hello!

This is still happening on the new 2.0.3 build.

I hope that you can find out what is causing this, thanks!

Thanks a lot for the explanation. So in theory, the correct thing to say is that it would be nice to have more extended support for SVG / vector files with advanced features right? 

If I open the .SVG file that I shared on the first post in Illustrator, is interpreted correctly:



Now, based on what you said, I tried to export a new .svg from Illustrator and in .eps too, and open the three formats again in Affinity Photo V2, here are the results:






 

As we can see, the re-exported .SVG now appears correctly in Affinity Photo v2, and if I open the .AI or the .EPS they appear almost fine, they only have some rasterization interpretation that appears as pixelated sections.

So, it would be nice to have more extended support for vector imports.

Thanks.
