[Qgis-user] Updating the legend an legend items in 2.6.1

[Johanna Botman]

I have a project that I use to create a map from a location specified in
a .gml file. I can get 10, 20 or 30 of these each day and want to make the
process as automated as possible.

I click and drag the .gml file onto the map canvas, right click the new
layer, zoom to the extent, then go to the composer, match the composer to
map canvas extent and produce my map.

In the legend, I do not want to show all the items in each layer on my
canvas. So I turn off the Auto Update option and make my changes. In 2.4
and previous versions, when I dragged the .gml file onto my map canvas, the
legend would automatically update with that layer, but now it doesn't. I
have to add that layer myself.

It seems to me that the Auto Update check box will update all items in all
layers and then I have to delete those items and layers I do not want to
show.

The other option there is the Update All button - but that appears to do
the same thing ... that is, update all the items in my layers and all the
layers in my project..

It's not a great ask, in the scheme of things, to manually add the new
layer, but it is a step that, given that it was automatic in previous
versions, I'd prefer not to have to perform.

Or have I missed something?
