Hi,
I guess in a GIS oriented product
Is necessary to avoid to mix the interface characteristics (the group is
an interface object) and the data characteristics (the shapefile is not
an interface object).
I guess more beter if add/remove dataset is separated phisically from
add/remove a group.
The dataset is a phicical think. The shapefile is using separately from
the qgis project.
The group is not separately from qgis project.
I guess is good question to have a "remove group" but avoiding to have a
only button "ADD Everything" or an only button "Remove everything"
Also I guess is important to help to understand when we are on dataset
(physical) and when we are on interface (logical).
Regards,
A.

Greetings,
I'd like to circulate a UX proposal and see how people react.
For a very long time, QGIS' Layers toolbar has featured a "Remove
layer(s)" button. I have seen two issues with the button:
- Its placement becomes really odd when plugins add button(s) to the
Layers toolbar (for e.g. the New Memory Layer plugin as pictured here
[ http://imgur.com/CEcIC3K,QvUzrti ])
- It can only remove vector/raster layers, won't remove groups
With the recent improvements done by Martin Dobias on the legend, and
in particular with his addition of a layer panel embedded toolbar, I
propose that:
- The "Remove layer(s)" button be moved to the layer panel embedded
toolbar [ http://imgur.com/CEcIC3K,QvUzrti#1 ]
- The button functionally is improved so it can also deal with the
removal of group(s)
Alternatively, we could get rid of the button altogether since layers
and groups can be removed via right click or keyboard shortcut, but I
suspect the touch screen based users might object.
Any objection to moving the button to the new layers toolbar?
