Re: [Inkscape-user] Importing and saving

(Actually I think it's not a surprise, these types of problems have not been uncommon with how gradient references are handled in SVG.)

SVG is not to blame. We have mostly fixed these kinds of problems in the recent releases. The remaining bugs, if any, should be relatively easy to fix.

Please report this to the tracker (with example svg's and a screenshot).

A screenshot is normally not necessary, but the example files are.
