Hi guys,
I've been messing with the blur tool today and noticed a few behavioural optimisations we could do to the slider to cut back on bloating our files.
the slider should lock to Increments. for example : 0.25 0.50 1.00 2.50 5.00 7.50 10.00 20.00
the user is still allowed to specify an arbitary value but it may be useful to handle filters in a similar way as we do gradient definitions. Create the <filter> def for the stddeviation when it has been set and link to that same <filter> for all future blurs if the same value.
The locking of the slider comes into place because it makes the default user behaviour more optimised when only casually playing with blur settings.
I guess we should think about htis .
oh, also attached is a quick example i made today to show an airbrushed style effect using blurs and gradients
How do you enable the blur tool? I am using the latest SVN trunk but see no way to access the tool.

Maybe, except that I think the blur radius must be in % relative to the object size, not in absolute units, otherwise it's not very usable for too small or too large objects. But I don't think we should restrict the slider; instead, as with master opacity, we need a spinbutton in the statusbar, whose right-click menu would contain these preset values.
I thought the filter used a fixed stddeviation value
right now the filter slider it seems a little sensitive anyway

Yes, but nothing prevents you from calculating and showing the percentage.
