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

[Alessandro Pasotti]

Hi Stéphane,

Thanks for testing the new dialog!

I think that if you find a bug (a crash or something that doesn't work as
expected) you should open an issue on the hub and assign it to me.

For general feed-back or change proposal for the UI/UX you can either use
this thread or make a PR with the proposed changes and discuss them in the
the PR.

Cheers
