Svg files with layers created in a number of applications including Inkscape and Affinity Designer, including plain svg and Inkscape svg format files. When ever I opened them in Illustrator, the names associated with each layer disappeared. That is a lot of effort naming layers to have them vaporize when opened in Illustrator.
Maybe there is a preference setting in Illustrator to allow the names of the layer to stay associated with the file during opening. But it seems really stupid of Illustrator programmers to have it remove layer names as a default.
If you have experienced a different result when opening svg files in Illustrator, please tell me.
Adobe has really gone down hill over the years, allowing more flexibility in what you do at the expense of doing it efficiently. Seems many things I want to do now take multiple steps /commands compared to early versions of their software. This is true of PhotoShop Elements also.
That is the reason I am moving away from their products. Buying is always better than renting for me!
