I think IgorV pointed out (to me)  that this checkbox only worked with
horizontal blur, not with both enabled?

For now we can try and modify in plugins/blur/blur.C


void BlurMain::save_data(KeyFrame *keyframe)

output.tag.set_property("A_KEY", config.a_key);

replace config.a_key with 0 here ?

so it will be always saved as 0

void BlurMain::read_data(KeyFrame *keyframe)

config.a_key = input.tag.get_property("A_KEY", config.a_key);

with config.a_key = 0;

so it will ignore saved 1 setting.

At least this is my theory/idea for now.

If we go with this plan we probably should left original lines commented
out with "//" and add line saying why reading/writing forced to 0 for this
param (due to disabled gui config in blurwindow.C)




The parameter about "Alpha determines radius" is A_KEY. A_KEY can be 0 or
