as the attached .sla shows, scribus could probably convert this specific svg effect to a native shape / effect. |
|
|
Uploaded svg still use a kind of effect applied to vector, an image mask in this case. Image masks are not supported by Scribus. |
|
|
since this "effect" is taken from a pdf -- and i must presume that it is pdf compatible -- it would be nice if scribus could support it. as we saw today on irc, the deception can be rather strong when people notice that their SVG does not load correctly in scribus. |

Yep supported by pdf, but not usually supported by applications. Supporting image masks on vector objects would just be another memory hog. Bitmap image masks are generally used when 'outputting' pdf so as to allow transparencies on image. Alpha channel cannot be stored in PDF image objects, image mask are used for that purpose. Raster image masks, as opposed to vector masks, are rarely used in real world applications, they are mostly a concept used in PDF to achieve some specific tasks. Again Scribus will never be a PDF editor. |

Perhaps a solution here is for Scribus to report upon Import that file has properties that are not supported ? Edit: what does InDesign do in this situation? |

re-reading jghali comment after a few years... ... well, scribus does not have to support the image mask on vector objects... but creating an image mask for mask filters on vector objects (as inkscape is doing) might lead to a solution to an effect that seems to be commonly used in vector graphics... |
