Feature request: Support for SVG filters

I know their effects could be redundant with some of the live effects, but they permit very fine tuning !

(example from Inkscape, effects modified with the internal XML editor)

Here is my first attempt at svg-gel effect in Inkscape.

As you can see, it's possible to obtain variable transparency and 100% opacity on the reflexive parts which is indispensable for a realistic gel effect !

The picture was made with XTreme where I imported png results and added the grid background and the drop shadows.

looks good Ivan - ah the things I just do not have time to play with....

Steve, I tried to upload the svg file including the filter. It's weight is only 4,41 Ko. But unfortunately I get an "invalid file" reply.

you will need to zip it Ivan I think - in .zip format [not .7z]

Thanks ! Here it is. It's better to open it in a 0.47 snapshot because 0.46 open and display it but crashes when trying to access the svg filters manager (however you could try via XML editor).

kindly,
