Have You an Idea how we could optimize the choosing of > cd-rom and cd-rom-image. Sure. A simple pull down menu instead of the ... circle button, where you have 2 options: * Physical Media * Other (ISO) .... If the user selects Other (ISO) - a sile selection could appear to select an ISO and then appears. If the user selects "Physical Media" - the device name appear in the selection. =20 > [snip] >=20 > I'd like to keep the Panel as easy as possible, so "normal" Users won't > be destracted by to much options. > Probably I'm gonna ad '-localtime', '-smb', and > '-user-net'/'-dummy-net', since I activate them by default. I think Localtime, should also be a checkbox item (in a seperate line), and user-net / dummy net should be a radio button selection, but all of them should be hidden until the user press the "Advanced.." button. =20 > I'm thinking of a new way to store the images and saved VMs, too. > Maybe we could make something like vpc: A package with the config, > disk-images and saved VMs, located in ~/Documents/QEMU PCs/ Nice idea.
