I'm experiencing an issue with an attached SVG file. When I open it in Inkscape, the image appears to be invisible. I suspect that the problem lies in the way the drop-shadow was applied when the file was created in Adobe Illustrator.
I would appreciate any guidance on how I can make this SVG file compatible with Inkscape.
Can´t tell exactly how AI is generating this but after deleting the applied filters and calling a new drop shadow it works right out of the box - except the shadows run over the next element. Not sure if that´s an unwanted effect.
Here are all the steps in case someone else stumbles on this thread with a similar issue.
Open image File > Open Edit > Select All Object > Ungroup Filters > Remove filters Object > Group Filters > Shadows and Glows > Drop Shadow: Select Live preview, then use the options to create the desired shadow.
Finally the original image was cropped up to the path edges, I had to add some canvas for the shadow, to do that: File > Document Properties > Display (tab) > Click Resize to content.
I'm having a similar issue. In this case I didn't make the original SVG files. I have a lot of similar files I need to convert to PNG. Some of them are invisible. All of them work when I open them in a browser, but for some reason invisible when I open them in Inkscape or use a svg>png converter.
The files attached, one works and one doesn't.
Korak Green works but DruchiiViolet doesn't work, can someone tell me a way to convert these to PNG?
Hi,
I'm using Windows 10 with Inkscape version 1.2.

I made new fill colours by accident. ;-)
Thanks for that, it's really helpful.
I'm stuck on removing the filters from the original SVG though, how did you do that?
I've tried
Select all, Filters > Remove filters
and
Select paths one-by-one, Filters > Remove filters
neither of those are working for me.
I have ungrouped first and then Filters->Remove filters here.
Thank you @Polygon - mission accomplished!

Please share "DruchiiViolet ".
Sorry, I thought it was also attached @TylerDurden
It will be easier to troubleshoot, with the file that has the issue.
So weird, I could swear it had attached both times. I'm going to try and attach a few different files that don't work.
Here is the original source of the file in case it doesn't work again. https://www.games-workshop.com/resources/catalog/product/600x620/99189953019_shadeDruchiiViolet.svg
Yeah, it looks like the files are broken in some way that they won't even attach to the post.
Ah. please zip(compress) the file before attaching.
Here you go. There are 3 working and 3 broken in this zip
@leon_m
Inkscape do not support filterUnits="userSpaceOnUse". All you need to do is delete it.
@schreibmaschine
Shorten the gradient IDs. Either manually or save a copy as optimised SVG with this option checked.
