I know this,
but my response is enlarged to a more conceptual problem.
How avoid that an user could be confusing from when it act on a logical
level of interface,
and when it act on a physical data.
I understand that removing mean always remove and so 1 only button is
better than two.
But my question is :
if we remove the "remove layers" leaving only the "remove this" that is
available in the context-menu (i dont see the new legend again).
Seem quite logical to question:
why there is a "remove this" only command and there is instead an "add
layer" and an "add group" seaprated.
Why two "add" and "one" remove ?
So the next logical question is why not remove the two add ad introduce
only an unique "add here" in the context-menu ?
:)
So my response was to a path that can start with the remove button and
logically end on the "add button".
Regards,
Andrea.

I don't think you should comparing adding group/dataset against
deleting a group/dataset legend layer. The latter is already unified
via either a single keyboard shortcut and a single mouse right-click
-> remove action.

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).

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?
