Regarding selection and the filter dialog, how about the following setup: the dialog will still display all filters, but the user can set which filter is currently applied to the selected object(s) by double clicking a filter in the left-hand list. The active filter will get a dot or a small icon to show it is being used on the selection. Single-clicking a filter will select it for editing of its primitives/attributes, but won't apply it to the selection.
Sounds good. And in addition to that:
- add "Apply to selection" to the right-click menu of filters
- when an object with no filter is selected, and a new filter is created in the dialog, apply that filter to that object automatically
- watch selection and when it changes, not only update the selected marker in the filters list, but also select that filter in that list, or deselect all filters if the selected obejct is unfiltered
