Bug Description
It's currently possible to add a filter effect to an entire layer, using the XML Editor (since layers are merely groups, after all). However, it's quite cumbersome. One needs to create the filter, open the XML Editor, find the filter, note its id, find the layer, and then add "filter:url(#id)" to the layer's style attribute.
It would be nice if this could be done from the Layers dialog. Give a droplist to select a filter for the selected layer, for example.
I realize this would interfere somewhat with the Blend mode option on the Layers dialog, since that is implemented with a filter, but perhaps if both a blend mode and a filter are selected, they could be combined by creating a new filter that adds the blend mode to the end of the filter.
