[Qgis-user] QGIS SVG: outdated warning

[Richard Duivenvoorde]

I added some layers, some blending and transparency, but to be honest
both in 2.x and 3 outcomes (pdf and svg) were more or less ok to me....
So not sure what it is exactly that I have to do to fail.

The only difference is that in master I do not get the 'let's print in
raster...' when printing a pdf.

So what about: keeping the dialog (as I think at least for SVG the
outcome will never be what a designer wants (id's, layers as layers etc
etc), but change the message to: "Both pdf and svg exporting is done via
the Qt-library. Results can vary based on complexity of (painting) of
you map, but cannot be influenced by QGIS itself." or so?

IF in future certain rendertasks appear to screw up either svg or pdf we
can always add those?

Regards,

Richard
