Title says it all really. Can Moho export a SVG sequence? Or any other vector based format as a sequence?

One more SVG question: is it possible to retain SVG layers on import? At the moment it imports all the artwork from an SVG in one layer. I can't seem to find an option anywhere to import layers.
Also, switching off "Auto-scale imported vectors" seems to corrupt imports. Is this a known issue?

Regarding the layers in .svg
.svg handle layers as groups, so it differs from .ai or other similar formats for that matter. In other words, there are no layers in .svg files, just groups. Still, you may have Layers in your sw but in fact, those are just groups made through some automated processes like clicking a few buttons or similar - hence their lack in your imported files.

I know how SVGs work. I once wrote a (not very good) SVG parser myself. Illustrator writes layers as groups with tags that tell you they're layers, not simply groups. Even if you don't want to go as far as supporting illustrator specific tags, you should at least have the option to import the topmost groups as layers. Right now, SVG import feels like a missed opportunity.
