View only formats won't work. My client needs the logo in scalable format because it's to be used for printing in both small and large formats. I tried opening the logo with Corel and Illustrator. Mostly fine, but blur effect is lost. I can apply gaussian blur or something in any of those apps but will it work when I'm back to inkscape? I need advice about compatibility, otherwise I won't be able to use Inkscape professionally due to every people in this place use only Corel or Illustrator.
how about filing bugs at Corel or Adobe if their SVG import is broken? Obviously it is broken if it doesn't look the same as in Inkscape.
SVG is more and more both an exchange and a standard web-graphics format. Commercial vendors need to support SVG properly.
As an short-time alternative you may try the PDF format. At least the newer versions of Adobe Illustrator import PDF documents fine. I don't know about the drop-shadow/blur, though. This is probably rasterized by Inkscape at a certain resolution.
