The options don't have any obvious utility, though (repeat blurring is nothing more than a very slow way of producing a Gaussian blur), so there does not seem to be any good reason for keeping the options unless deleting them will break something that already exists. > Also, I skimmed the bug report, which was initially about a preview. > Another random thought (based on my previous 'impossible' one: Does it > seem possible to make a 'fixed' preview area somewhere (maybe in the > layers dialog?) that all plugins have access to, instead of > reimplementing each one?

This could be done with some cleverness, but I would oppose it on the grounds that the preview should be as near as possible to the controls.

[Gimp-developer] Blur plug-in
Hi, I'd like to get some feedback on the following plan for the Blur plug-in (details are in http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=142318): The plan is to remove the randomize and repeat functionality. That would allow us to also remove the (quite confusing) dialog. Filters->Blur->Blur would then be a simple blur with a 3x3 convolution kernel. It would be fast and easy to use but of course we it would be less powerful. So the question is, is anyone actually using this functionality? Are there scripts out there that rely on plug-in-blur-randomize to be available? Sven ___ Gimp-developer mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.xcf.berkeley.edu/mailman/listinfo/gimp-developer
