Bug ID: 490052
Summary: Filter Layers and Masks don't have a Preview Checkbox

Where the preview checkbox is
SUMMARY
When using a filter through the menubar, there's a "preview" checkbox in the
filter dialog at the bottom left corner that you can use compare the filter
enabled with it disabled. This checkbox is missing from the same dialog when
you edit a filter layer/mask. Because the dialog is modal, there is no way to
hide the filter layer/mask in the layers docker while the dialog is open, which
means there is no way to quickly compare the current settings of the filter
with the filter disabled.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. add a new filter layer.
OBSERVED RESULT
There is no "Preview" checkbox.
EXPECTED RESULT
There should be one. Or at least a checkbox to "hide" the visibility of the
filter layer from this dialog, since "preview" sounds like you're previewing
changes done to the filter. Actually maybe there should be two checkboxes: one
to preview the changes, and one to switch the visibility?
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
An alternative (and probably better) solution would be to make the dialog for
editing filters non-modal. That way users would be able to modify two filters
at once, and switch their visibility without needing to close the dialog.
Naturally this would be more complex to implement.
