Hm ... I have not checked the brush code that well so I am not
entirely sure what are you referring to there (well I know what a
lowpass filter is, but I have no idea what other filter do you have in
mind).
Is it possible to document a bit more how the entire process with the
inputs is working? Perhaps then we can find a solution that would be
flexible and simple enough.

I agree ... that is why I would rather simplify :)

I have some :) But I also understand that hacks are necessary at the
beginning when the concepts are being formed (I have also read the
post about mypaint history so I am at least partially aware of it's
origins). As you will soon notice my way of doing things is to write
things down and think them through ... not just start hacking. And
this is what I am doing since some people encouraged me to write my
ideas down as soon as possible :)

I am all about simple and understandable interfaces but if some other
part has to be polished before that we should start there. Also some
semi-regular dev meetings on irc would be nice I guess. Currently the
communication is not that good in my opinion (but since I have just
crashed into this community I am perhaps not the best judge of that).

Thanks for the list ... i was not aware that there are that many
brushes with this setting :)
