[Qgis-developer] Processing menu dropdowns

[Neumann, Andreas]

Hi Paolo, 

While I agree with you that in most cases the same layer wouldn't be
chosen twice as input layers, I am not sure if your proposal is worth
the effort. 

In >90% of the cases the user will have to change the input layer anyway
- so what is the gain? 

Better to let the user consciously choose the correct parameters than
doing any wild guesses of what may be, by chance, the right choice in
some cases. 

I think we have other, more pressing issues to fix besides this minor
issue.
