As I understand it, this code is rather offered to join the core Scribus codebase than to be maintained separately. The diff is not that huge and I can imagine someone will catch up, at least I hope so :) Even if I?m not exactly fond of these overseen effects (today its reflection, who knows what it will be tomorrow) I do agree that we can do the effort to line up with other DTP packages if it gives our users more chances to use and promote use of Scribus. That said, I think we must provide on-canvas visualisation of the effect, it?s all what Scribus is about. my 2? -- Pierre Marchand
