So if you look at LC 8 RC 1 you will see that they added a new command called "blur", used to blur an image. I think this is super cool. However when i call the command it says that it cannot be found.

So my question is, am i not doing something i am supposed to? Am I using the wrong platform (Im using windows and it doesnt specify a platform).

Does it work on Android, iOS?

Anyone else have any luck with this?

Hi Will,

just made a quick test on my Mac and "blur" works as exspected.
No idea about mobile, sorry.

Actually I did not know about this new feature until now

I just tried it in Ubuntu and I get "handler not found". I didn't see an indication in the Dictionary about what platforms it's available for. Do you know if that's documented somewhere else?

Hi Richard,

I found this in LC 8 RC1, so maybe it is not in 7.x!
But no supported platforms noted in the dictionary unfortunately.

I was using 8.0rc1. Flagged the platform omission:

Thank you for testing that Klaus and Richard!

Well when I looked in the engine build folder there was a .dll file called blur which means to me that some blur effect is supposed to happen on windows. It also has a mac file included with Trevor's name in the notes. And that is it. I believe that Scott Rossi has a blur extension for iOS and that he has a piece of code you can use for Android.

The docs don't say much. So why not Windows?

Anybody get it to work with windows?
