Designer Export as .svg issue

[Ikikuru]

When I export the attached file as a .svg on iPad designer v2.2.0 on iOS 17.0.3 the resulting file has a pixelated black border and the 3d look is not there. I have tried multiple .svg exports on the iPad and they all come out looking very poor.

Hi @Ikikuru,

The main problem with this is SVG and its lack of support for Layer Fxs.  Most if not all Layers Fxs would get rasterised on export and if you have the Rasterise option set to nothing, then the Layer Fx would be missing from the export. 

But this isn't a bug, it is more SVG's lack of support for Layer Fxs.

I would put it more the other way around, namely that Affinity does not provide the support for generating and parsing in equivalent transformed SVG code. - SVG already offers a number of filters that do offer to do the same things ...

feGaussianBlur
feDropShadow
feConvolveMatrix
feDisplacementMap
feColorMatrix
feFlood
feBlend
feDiffuseLighting
feDistantLight
feSpecularLighting
fePointLight
... and so on ...

But it's overall easier for the Affinity apps to handle these things rasterized as embeded base64 uuencoded bitmaps here instead.
