Hi,<br>
<br>
I am adding the UX (user interface) list about this legend
discussion.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
<br>
As far as I can tell, in the very recent master version, all the
symbol changes that happen in the legend tree of the main
application immediately reflect to the composers anyway (without any
user intervention and regardless of the AutoUpdate checkbox - I
think this is the expected behavior that most users want) - so can't
we remove that Autoupdate button? Or better rename it to "Reset
Legend" - which would more accurately describe what it does?<br>
<br>
I also think that the "AutoUpdate" checkbox should not be turned on
by default. The AutoUpdate now only concerns that new layers or
entries in the layer are automatically added into the legend. I
doubt that many users want to have that behavior enabled by default
- because it means that the legend can grow uncontrolled in size and
run off the page relatively quickly.<br>
<br>
@Alexandre: note that the "Update selected" already works on the
context menu (right-klick) if you select a layer. But now that
updates happen automatically, I am not sure if the update of a
single layer is needed anymore.<br>
<br>
Just my thoughts on the issue.<br>

<div>Like you said the "update all" button behaviour can be
done by selecting and unselecting the Update checkbox. But I
find it not very elegant solution. Therefore the "extra"
button makes sense to me.<br>
<br>
</div>
Besides, it would be nice if, in the future, the "update all"
button become "updated selected itens" if Items are selected.
Not sure if that is planed, but I can sure make a feature
request for that.<br>

If i understood what bother you is the fact that there are two<br>
options (check box and button) to do quite the same thing, to<br>
me it's ok because i see they have different behaviour (one is
fully<br>
automatic).<br>
If this bother you so much you may open a feature request<br>
and ask for the removal of the button.<br>
<br>
<br>
all the best, Roy.<br>
