IDML Import: Master pages with layers get flattened to single "master layer"

[woefi]

Hi, 

IDML import in v2 is pretty awesome. One thing though, that is not handled well is if you made multiple layers on a InDesign master page.

AfPub seams to treat objects on master pages as a "Layer". If you import documents with already layered master pages, it gets confused.

 

Situation:

I have an InDesign brochure with master pages, which have a layer for objects that should always go in the background and a second layer which should always go in front, like a footer or a page header. All text and pictures are in placed on the normal pages and either lie OVER the master background or UNDERNEATH the master "header/footer".

On import, these OVER and UNDER objects get flattened. So this is not right anymore...
Would this even be possible with the current state of master pages in Affinity Publisher?

Is it possible for you to send me a copy of the IDML file that you are having issues opening with Affinity Publisher 2 using the Dropbox link below.

I have now uploaded one of the files (including linked logos) which have these characteristics.

I included a screenshot out of indesign and the result in AfPub, and also a correct PDF created from indesign so you should see how it's supposed to look like.
