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
And in addition to this (only since right-click was brought up)...
- add "rename" to the right-click menu of filters
- (ties into previous one) make the dialog observant of when filters are renamed via xml editor. Currently you have to reload the document for the changed name to show up in the filters dialog.
I never got into naming gradients, but I find it to be significantly more useful with filters since they can get quite complex.
