[Qgis-developer] paletted rasters with class labels

[Vincent Schut]

Hi,

Since version 2 qgis does not seem to support paletted rasters (e.g. 
tiff's with colortable) with a label for each raster class, is that 
correct? In version 1.8, in the colormap tab of the raster properties, 
the palette of the raster (if any) would automatically be used, and you 
could add (or qgis would load, if they were available in the raster 
metadata) a label/name for each of the colors/classes. In the new 
version, a raster is either of type 'palette' but that has no option to 
use/add labels (but does use the internal palette of the raster), or it 
is rendered as 'singleband pseudocolor', which has labels per class, but 
cannot use the raster internal colortable.

We really miss this feature now.

Should I file a new enhancement request/bug?

Best regards,
Vincent.

PS over the whole, version 2.0 is a great improvement, kudo's to all the 
devs! :-)
