Re: [Qgis-developer] Band order in "Identify Features"

[Lucena, Ivan]

Pete,

About the band order:

I filed a ticked about the sorting order: http://trac.osgeo.org/qgis/ticket/1567

About the band names:

I believe that ticked #1296 is about "class names associated with a cell in a thematic raster file". My suggestion was 
regarding the "band name" but I understand when you mention that it could be messy if the dataset does not 
provide a compressive annotation.

My best regards,

Ivan
