What about filter effects like gaussian blur? Is there any possibility 
to use sth. similar to the gimp effects? Would it be possible to do sth 
else with the python scripting e.g. by using the imagemagick python 
interface, or selfmade svg-filters-effects? 

Is there a future plan in programming such a filter plugin interface?

Kind regards
