[Qgis-user] Aerial photo dates in legend without RGB patches?

[Michael Dufty]

Hi Kirk,
I just want to display the date in the legend.  Happy to add it manually for each layer by editing the layer name or any other method.
Applies equally to aerials I've produced myself, purchased, been supplied by a client or linked to a server.  Assuming I know the date, how can I display it in the legend?

Hi Michael:

Just to be clear, these are your own georeferenced aerial photo's or professionally produced ortho photo's (as opposed to satellite imagery).  If so, where would the date field come from, the name of the image files or perhaps embedded in the geotiff header (if using this file type)?

I can change the name of the layer, but then it displays a huge useless R G B legend.  Is there any way to turn this off?  Setting the patch size to 0 doesn't seem to be possible for local images, although it does work for WMS layers.
Alternatively is there a way to just put a manual line of text in the legend, other than with dummy layers/groups?
