Stroke Style dashed is losted

[d-j-a-y]

• create a simple shape (square)
• fill and stroke
• stroke paint, choose some color
• stroke style, choose some dash.

prepare --> export --> save as --> open resulting sif : dash line is losted.

(anyway thank's for your work!)

I don't remember if Synfig supports dashed strokes. It definitely doesn't use the same format for dashes as SVG.

Any ideas on how to correctly implement dashes in a sif file?

yep, now synfig support dashed outlines, by the Advanced Outline Layer http://wiki.synfig.org/wiki/Advanced_Outline_Layer

i know nothing about svg nor sif format.
