<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Hi,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">This topic has already been mentionned
in this mailing list, but I would like to bring it up once again : </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Would it be possible to modify the strategy
used to determine which representation is created by default when a filter
is applied and a new representation is created? </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">The idea would be, when possible, to
create a representation that is the same as the one of the input.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Users find it very difficult to understand
that the representation always swtiches back to a default representation
each time they apply a filter.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Some parameters seems to have been hard-coded
to be copied, but it does not work with plugins (such as the point sprite
plugin...).</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Is it possible to </font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1/ modify the strategy so that the output
representation is by default the same as the input, when possible.</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2/ copy all parameters of the representation
by iterating over all properties of the represesentation proxy, so that
all those properties are copied. This should work for plugins too.</font>
