[Qgis-developer] Proposal: move the "Remove layer(s)" button

[aperi2007]

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.
