I have a slight problem with my svg visualisation. (Inkscape 1.0rc1, fedora 31)
I have a logo, with layers and some blend mode (soft light). My .svg is working fine on Inkscape and Firefox, but the blending mode is erased when open in a image visualizing software (X'nview, gnome ). Same thing if I print it.
The png export work fine (after changing rgba to 8).
So I have no idea if it's something that did'nt configure right or the new svg1.1 or anything else.
If some one have an idea about it, I will gladly ear it.
It's likely that those image viewers just don't support the blend modes (these are css blend modes, unlike in 0.92.x, which uses filter blend modes).
This isn't an official comment, but I think rsvg doesn't currently support css blend modes (see https://github.com/lovell/sharp/issues/1830#issuecomment-520726652) That is probably why blend modes aren't showing in gnome. My image viewer doesn't show filter blend modes either though (tested with Xviewer and a XnView MP appimage).
In Inkscape, the switch to applying css blend modes in the Layers/Objects dialog was made to workaround blend modes not being visible till Inkscape was restarted in 1.0alpha (see https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inkscape/-/issues/452).
Thank for the thinking, I had forget to check the gnome support, nice one. I ended up with System D, just different layers for each colours, not the cleanest but work work every one.
