node conversion gui

Yes, but drop targets should be quite big, to make the work easy. We can use
three buttons only: Selection Mask, Effect Mask,  Layer. The rest may be
chosen by a big (easy accessible) pop-up menu.

We can use the way Dolphin works when drag-and-dropping files. The action
(Move/Copy) is defined by the modifier pressed (Shift/Ctrl). But if you
forgot to press the Modifier, the popup menu is shown (with the item, for
exiting). We could use the same modifiers as dolphin even: Shift == Move ==
delete the source layer.
