Filter editor - Redesign (WIP)

Summary:

Filter editor is a pretty useful feature. But the current UX of it is very bad. We could solve it by redesigning to node-based system. Similar to :

• Blenders material editor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNn0bk77XNQ
• AR spark patch editor https://sparkar.facebook.com/ar-studio/learn/patch-editor/patches-available#before-you-start
• or https://svgfilters.com/

Sketch of the Design

docked to canvas (my preferred design)

undocked

current design

Behaviors:

• After you click on an element it gets highlighted and it it gives you more options under the blue icon

• you can copy past duplicate and delete elements by same shortcuts as on canvas or right-clicking and it would give you same options

• after clicking add the effect you would have same pop up as for LPEs

but with filter effects

• after clicking on filter dropdown you can change the filter you are editing or create a new filter. in this design you would also apply your filtered here (same as in current filter editor) BUT ideally, I would apply filters in document manager and not in the filter editor #23
