Hello Om, with Harbs’ help I was able to dig into the case.
What I found is that the AI svg export (4.3 MB) is actually being converted, although it takes while to see the fxg result (3.3 MB). I tested it on a Mac Mini 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5 and the conversion inside the standalone app took approx. 3.5 minutes at >95% CPU usage. Then i performed the same test inside VirtualBox running Vista where it took even 5.5 minutes with the same CPU consumption. The reason why the app remains unresponsive while converting on Windows is that it uses the internal Webkit XSL processor for SVG conversion, while on Mac it calls a native process that runs in the background. In task manager you can see the process running quite busy. After finishing the app becomes responsive again. (On Mac the fxg file appears immediately, but it takes some time before it gets its content.) Unfortunately both processors (which are based on libxslt) do not return any progress data, so I do not see a chance to add a progress bar to the app. You can find the fxg output (77750 lines) here: http://www.realcreation.com/S2F_Converter/testfxg/testfxg.fxg It looks like this (downscaled to 8.8%, please allow a moment to load): http://www.realcreation.com/S2F_Converter/testfxg/testfxg.html Comparing it at a glance with the original file ( http://mercury.io/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ios8_vector_zoom_out.png <http://mercury.io/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/ios8_vector_zoom_out.png> ) i can see the following differences: - Bitmap images aren’t converted (that’s an actual limitation, although I will have a look to add external images to the conversion method). - Some masks seem missing or misplaced. (I will investigate.) - The SVG uses multiline text, while the FXG only single line (I will check the specs.) I hope this helps.
