[QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-developer] Are there plans to create a unique "Add layer" tool?

[Stéphane Henriod]

Hi Alessandro

I just downloaded the latest nightly build and will make some tests in the
coming days. What would be the most efficient / useful way to give you
feedback and comments? On this thread?

Thanks and cheers

Stéphane
