Thanks for your reply, Anshul_Saini.
When Monika asked me about the gradients, I thought she was referring to some "fancy" features rather than the usual Illustrator options.
Surprisingly, the freeform is actually new to me. At least I've never felt compelled to investigate that third option, as the other two usually did what I needed them to do. But how does it convert to linear/radial?
The gradient created feels very special to me and seems to have little to do with the others, and my quick tests produced unsatisfactory results (= a bitmap of the gradient was created).
Regarding the transparency part of your answer:
I am aware of the "Style Attributes (Entity References)" option.
Since I don't know your German, let me repeat what was written. Basically, I am afraid that the option you recommend is marked as obsolete and will be removed in the future.
My question was basically how to deal with this if it is eventually implemented.
Your point about other browsers is interesting. I will have to look into it.
On the other hand, we have no control over which browsers our customers use. So knowing the results will be of limited use.
Rasterising the layer will probably solve the problem (especially the one with the gradient mentioned above). Unfortunately, it will remove the one reason for using SVGs in the first place: their small size and scalability.
Long story short, I would love it if your development team could find a way to support the features of the Style Attributes (Entity References) options in future iterations of Illustrator.
The fact that most of the described results actually worked in my tests is a source of great puzzlement and definitely reduces the impact of this request. In order to find the reason for the discrepancy, which was the main reason, I uploded the data.
