Hi,
I'm more missing a discussion about why in fact all loaded layers are displayed in the legend, and not only those activated in the canvas.
There is a reason why a deactivate layers: I want to produce a map only with those active ones = shown in the map. 
So why do I have to manually remove unneeded (in my cases often dozens of layers) from the legend, or, even worse, delete them from the project just to re-add them when I produce the next map?

It would be much smarter to add just those active in the moment of creating the legend. In case I forgot one I need, I will be happy to add this one manually.

Or did I miss sth obvious?

Cheers
Bernd

Hi,



I am adding the UX (user interface) list about this legend
discussion.



The whole situation about legend updates and the current legend GUI
in composer is indeed a bit confusing and changed quite a bit in the
last one (or two? releases). I also think that the "Auto update"
checkbox and the "Update all" button next to it are almost
redundant.

​Do we have a ticket for this issue yet? 
I'm afraid I haven't had time yet to look into this and form an opinion or even a suggestion for how the UI should be improved.
It would be great if the users interested in enhancing this part of QGIS could come up with a draft and open a ticket where it can be discussed in detail and with images :)
Thanks a lot!
Best wishes,
Anita​
