Description
I am working on a dem that has a nodata value of -9999. The person who created this also used the value -999 as a "novalue". So, I made -999 transparent. When I click on the "Load Min Max From Band" button, I wish it would not consider the transparent values.

The NoDataValue should not be considered for sure. As for Transparent values, it may be possible to consider 100% transparency pixels as "no data" but this could lead to so other strange behaviour. This is an enhancement that should be reviewed by the Steering Committee.

The NoDataValue is now excluded in both the estimated and internally computed min-max.
As for the second idea, after some thought I don't think excluding 100% transparent values will be possible or really appropriate.
1) The raster class is currently heavily reliant on GDAL, and uses GDAL's GDALComputeRasterMinMax to get the estimated min-max values. This function does not have the ability to ignore values other then the nodatavalue - as far as I understand
2) The transparency setting is just that, a way to change the transparency of pixel values. It is not really an on the fly recoding capability. I think a simple raster reclassify plugin would be the way to go, which could be a great core feature as well but not something that will be possible for v1.0
This idea should be revisited toward v2.0
