How do I backtrack and see what filter effects were applied?

I have files, but i forget how i created something. So is there a way to open a file and back track in sequence what filter effects were applied?

Hi.

There is a filter editot in the filter menu you can open up and see what filters were used.

Also, you can try with the xml editor too (Shift+Ctrl+X).

Not an easy way aroud though if you would do this manually.


But!
There is a much more easier way if you just want to copy a certain filter to another object:
select filtered object, and copy it (Ctrl+C),
then select the unfiltered one, and press Shift+Ctrl+V.
It will paste the exact fill information to the object selected, including fill attributes too.
So you may change the fills after the filter is being pasted.
