Affinity Designer: Lost Gradient and Transparency When Reimporting Optimized SVG Files


Recommended Posts

Hi there,

 

just something I noticed, not sure if it's a bug, missing feature, or something that can't work by design.

 

I made a nice artwork in Affinity Designer, using bunch of gradient fills (linear), and also transparency fills (linear). I exported the file as SVG and it looks great in Safari and Firefox (no lost features). Next I optimise things with SVGO (https://github.com/svg/svgo) which does its thing and reduces the file size by almost 40%. The resulting file still looks great in Safari and Firefox (no lost features and all gradients and transparency effects are still there). But when I load this optimised SVG file back to Affinity Designer all the gradients and transparency effects are gone.

Probably related to problem in recent thread:

 

Yep, sounds like the same issue. I checked and indeed the actual gradient information is still there (in the gradient editor field), so probably just the offsets/ scale broken for some reason. I don't even see the gradient handles when I select the gradient tool (even, if I zoom out a lot).
