Another project I didn't quite get finished for GIMP 3.2 was non-destructive filters on layer masks.

The limit itself was easily removed - the challenge was making a good interface for editing filters on both the layer and its mask.

My first version used tabs, but @aka_reju suggested I show both groups of filters on the same screen. The video shows a demo of how this works. Once I get it finished and update the merge request, we'll see what people think of it!

Went back to my local NDE Gradient filter branch and actually got it working! Previously you could toggle the visibility of gradient filters, now they're fully editable.

We got a number of requests for the Gradient tool to be non-desturctive, so I'm glad that that's pretty close to happening now!
