Description Christophe Fergeau 2012-03-15 15:59:31 UTC
Create a new box, select manually an iso file from the harddrive, then go back, the selection is lost and you have to go again pick the file.

Hmm.. should we assume that user will most probably want to use the same file the 2nd time?
Comment 2 Christophe Fergeau 2012-03-16 07:51:38 UTC
Going back may be a mistake, may be to check what file was picked, ...
In case he wants to pick a new file name, whether the old filename was kept or not won't make a difference, if he does not want to change the filename, not keeping it will be annoying. And I don't see a case where keeping the old filename would be undesirable/annoying.
Comment 3 Zeeshan Ali 2012-03-16 13:57:10 UTC
question: do you mean going back from within the wizard or after you have exited the wizard, created a VM and hit "Create" again?
Comment 4 Christophe Fergeau 2012-03-16 14:03:49 UTC
ah going back in the wizard: select an iso, on the next wizard page press "previous", you have to choose the iso image again.
When hitting Create again, reselecting the same iso will be handled by the recent document thingie.

Comment 7 Christophe Fergeau 2012-05-29 19:07:26 UTC
By any chance, would it be possible to keep the iso list displayed but highlight the select ISO somehow? I just tested this today and the behaviour is a bit weird imo.

Yeah should be possible. but we should keep this behavior for URI/File selected/entered manually though.

Yes of course, doing next/previous should show (nearly) the same thing on screen as when you haven't done anything
