I think Nyall will have some more information where things go right and where they (can) go wrong. Before improving the dialog text, we will need some insights into what actually can go wrong and if we are able to predict that a certain output is particularly prone to suffer from deficiencies. As

It looks a lot better in master than I used to remember from way back (I started at 1.8). Maybe Qt have done some work on it. On 26/11/17 01:07, Richard Duivenvoorde wrote: I added some layers, some blending and transparency, but to be honest both in 2.x and 3 outcomes (pdf and svg) were more

I have produced a number of maps that are exported to produce vector graphics that can be inserted into a word processing document to make a multipage document. Here there were a lot of issues with the lines changing thickness and styles when the SVG export was used. The PDF output was much mor

Hi there, even on EPS, PS or PDF, output with effects never really work pretty well. Some flavors of those types don't accept transparency at all. Actually, I never wanted to remove the warning. Please keep the dialog, just update the message. Perhaps a more neutral warning should be better, lik

Hi Richard, no, I was talking about QGIS2 (stable), but I was wrong about Qt5, I'm sorry. I've looked for Qt5 libraries installed only and didn't check that QGIS2 still uses Qt4. I don't have a clue, why the installer installed Qt5 anyway. QGIS2 doesn't have EPS export, does it? I can't find it a

Hi Matthias, whoops... I just checked the installer again and Qt4 AND Qt5 are selected. I just checked for Qt4 last time. But there's no more EPS export, so the message should be updated. Best regards, Tobias Am Sa, 25.11.2017, 12:20 schrieb Matthias Kuhn: > Hi Tobias, > > there is no stable r

Hi Richard, In this case I was confused by the term stable in the previous message. If this is still there on 2.99, can you check if SVG export also works with * Transparency * Layer blend modes IIRC, these were the tricky things. ThanksĀ  a lot Matthias On 11/25/2017 12:31 PM, Richard Duiv

Hi there! I'm on latest QGIS2 (stable). When choosing "SVG export" on map composer, you'll get this warning: "The SVG export function in QGIS has several problems due to bugs and deficiencies in the Qt4 svg code. In particular, there are problems with layers not being clipped to the map bounding
