Hi so I have alot of svg assets that I need import and the inkscape svg to sif suport is a little out of date so fist of all inscape version 1.0.0 export blank files ⬜no matter what’s the input (maybe its my system problem​:man\_shrugging:)  
But for other versions are the same 😶  
Gamma values are wrong ❌  
It can’t export transparency 🔍  
Outlines become distorted 🤪  
You need to unlink clones 🧑‍🤝‍🧑➡🙋🙋and release clips  
And no groups 🤕

Try this one. [My Import/Export plugin (SVG, Telegram Sticker, Lottie, dotLottie) - #3 by Glax](https://forums.synfig.org/t/my-import-export-plugin-svg-telegram-sticker-lottie-dotlottie/10929/3) It’ll help you directly import svg into synfig without converting your artwork to sif file.

PS:- This plugin works with the dev builds of synfig. Like v1.5.x

It is a VERY nice program (I used the standalone version the plug-in didn’t work although I was using dev version)  
I made a script and it converted all 1300~ assets and its really speedy it has some problems with transparent layers but it’s very better than both synfig and inkscape import methods
