Comment 0 for bug 166683

When I export a SVG with PNGs containing transparency
to EPS, Inkscape changes transparency to black (current
CVS) or white (a CVS some days ago). This is probably
because PS/EPS does not support transparency. But I
like to convert the EPS to PDF using "epstopdf" where
it is supported very well.

When using Illustrator for SVG->EPS export and then using
"epstopdf" again the resulting PDF has perfect
transparency.

If the conversion is done explicitly for PS
compatibility issues please provide a checkbox in the
EPS export/save dialog asking for transparency conversion.

I attached an example.
